Phil Ivey Countercharge Borgata

After winning his 10th WSOP bracelet, Phil Ivey filed his rebuttal against Borgata's 9.6 mil lawsuit. This case involves using edge sorting in baccarat. It is good to see finally Ivey file his countercharge and Card Player covered it 02 Jul 2014

For legal stuff it would be best to quote word for word. The first point was that Borgata's "complaint is…nothing more than an attempt to justify its own negligence, motivated by its subjective intent to take as much money from Phil Ivey as it could during his specially arranged and agreed visits" to the casino. Borgata blames Ivey for their negligence was so obvious and SavySeph covered it on 9 May 2014.

Borgata's claim could not hold water because "at no point did Ivey or his female companion touch the cards or any other gaming equipment, the motion to dismiss said. Lawyer's for the defendants said that any casino employee could have noticed the asymmetrical patterns in the cards that gave Ivey the 6.765-percent edge". This second point was also brought up by SavySeph. In Asia, we believe that you should not operate a casino if you are not totally familiar with all the tricks of the trade.
