Charlatan made
way into Quest of Champions
October 6
The Quest of Champions is a large poker tournament
planned to take place at the Palms casino in January, the event was
formed to celebrate the escalating popularity and positioning of the
world's top players.
Well, the tournament began by uncovering a cheater, but not a
cheater from actual game-play. This guy just wasn't who he said he
was.
The main event will showcase 100 players at 10
shootout tables, with the winner of each table advancing to the
final table of the ten remaining poker players.
At a preliminary mini-tournament on Labor Day weekend at the
Palms that someone tried and failed to join the tourney by trying to
take the place of star poker player Antonio Esfandiari. This leaves
many online poker players in awe.
The chief executive officer of Las Vegas-based PokerQuest
Entertainment wanted to invite Esfandiari to play, but he had never
really spoken to him or met him before. Instead of actually
contacting the right person, he reached a little-known poker player,
also named Antonio, who did nothing to dispel the notion that he was
Esfandiari.
The imposter tried to keep up the ruse almost until the start of
the mini-tournament, which was to host ten famous poker
professionals playing for one of the 100 seats in the main poker
tourney."It turns out he was just some nobody," Augustine said. "He
was saying, 'You still have to let me play.' "
After getting rid of the imposter, tournament officials recruited
1983 WSOP champion Tom McEvoy right before the game started.
The best part is that McEvoy won the tournament, and now has a
seat in January's main event.
