Cheng Yin Sun, also know as Kelly, is suing Foxwoods Casino Resort, Connecticut for refusal to pay winnings. Kelly had worked with Phil Ivey in two edge sorting cases, Ivey versus Crockfords and Borgata versus Ivey. Kelly's name was spelled "Cheung Yin Sun," in the Foxwoods case's court documents. In the Borgata case, the name was spelled "Cheng Yin Sun". Borgata's attorney told Card Player that both referred to the same person.
Kelly worked with two other edge sorters, Long Mei Fang and Zong Yang Li, at Foxwoods. The plaintiffs are seeking more than $3 million. The amount includes $1.1 million in winnings and $1.6 million in gambling front money and other damages. The plaintiffs admitted to edge sorting which is a technique that will give gamblers a 6.765-percent edge over the house in baccarat.
The plaintiffs allege, "… If Foxwoods and Foxwoods management knew that plaintiffs were edge-sorting and let them practice their form of advantage play anyway - intending to keep their losses if they lost but not honor their winnings if they won - this would be intentional fraud," the day reported on 11 Aug 2014.
