Very, very faked. This has taken on the level of urban legend. SO much so,
that we even have a template response for it..... (I have included the attachment we usually send :P)...
'Thank you for your Email. We have seen this site before, and can say
with certainty that the image there is a fake.
T# 14705493 was the $10 + $1 Deep Stacks tournament held on 12th
November 2005. The top four players in this event were:
'gamblinfla'
'MiketheKid2'
'twiceasright'
'witzy2004'
The player 'Big Devin' didn't take part in this tournament.
Next, you can see the observer 'style12' in chat on the table.
'style12' is not a User ID on our database as of June 2006 --
he doesn't exist.
There are also two hands mentioned here. One is # 3044245011 and the
other # 3044243120. I've attached them both below so that you can see
the hands as they originally happened. As you can see, the chip
stacks are totally consistent from one hand to the next. Further
more, 'Big Devin' didn't take part.
Finally, it is clearly demonstrable that the image has been edited.
Attached please find a closeup of several of the cards on the screen.
If you look closely, you'll see that the ace of clubs is one pixel too
high. The prankster that tried to run this hoax was not quite careful
enough with his editing and left this evidence behind.
I hope that this sets your mind at ease, but if you have further
queries,
please do not hesitate to let us know.
Regards,
