What the hell is going on in this thread. Someone owes the poker community what is a seriously large amount of money that he STOLE from them. Why is there all of this irrelevant bickering of ethics? When people are scammers (That is what this is fwiw), then they deserved to be outed and feel ashamed of what they have done to the community that has embraced them. Stop attacking the victims and lets try and do something constructive for the greater good of the people owed.
Drug and gambling addict was embraced by the poker community!
Taking half a million from the prize pool to pay for the ugliest bracelet ever made that will never be worn will forever be the single dumbest aspect of the main event.
Ruslan Prydryk is listed as from Lugansk, assuming he’s not a pro Russian stooge (was probably born there but left before the wars?) maybe I’ll be rooting for him.
Prydryk is also close to the Russian word придурок/pridurok which is like a stronger version of jerk/moron, you don’t want to be called that by your moms or wife.
