Poker court cases: Phil Ivey; PPC and Christian Lusardi updates

Three poker court cases to get you up to speed on including Phil Ivey‘s plans to take his Borgata argument to the Third Circuit; the Poker Players Championship legal intensifies, and Christian Lusardi is still behind bars.

I’m no Saul Goodman, but reading between the lines of an article that appeared in northjersey.com, Phil Ivey’s legal beagles are not surrendering his $10m to The Borgata without a fight.

Ivey’s legal representatives are pushing for District Judge Noel L. Hillman to enter his summary judgment of the case as ‘Final Judgment’. If those two words are stencilled in, then it allows the argument to be sent to the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit.

Ivey (The Joker) and Cheng Yin Sun (Harley Quinn) lost Round 1 vs. The Borgata after Judge Hillman formed the opinion that using ‘Edge Sorting’ techniques to gain an advantage against the house broke an invisible contract between the two parties.
