Merge Poker Online Poker Series Ends With a B?a?n?g? Thud | Professional RakeBack
The $250k guaranteed and the $75k guaranteed main events of the Online Poker Series, as well as a few other 5 figure multi-table tournaments were affected. Players on the forums are quite upset and screaming bloody murder (don’t they always?).
I don’t think the gloom and doom predictions are valid, but I hope they make their customers happy and give them a little above and beyond the regular tournament “screw up” policy. They do have a reputation for being fair in this regard though, so
*please reference / link the article if you write about this!*
I’m sure its like any other “scandal” in that 99% of the players won’t know or care. It could suck for business if we lose any high volume guys in protest, but not much can be done about that.

Wow, that’s pretty bad. I hope customers will understand , and it isn’t gloom and doom.
UPDATE: Carbon Poker has begun compensating its poker clients who were affected by the server glitches and MTT crashes. Clients of Carbon are reporting getting thousands of dollars in compensation for lost Expected Value as well as additional free poker tournament tickets. I for one am very happy to see them taking the high road here and doing what is right for the poker players involved.
FYI, we wrote an updated piece regarding the reparations being made by Carbon Poker.
