Sunday, February 27, another piece of the scandal of ‘Super Users’ on UltimateBet and Absolute Poker was revealed to the poker community by Travis Makar.

Heavily involved in this case that seems to have no end, Travis Makar is one of the main beneficiaries of this large-scale scam that saw several individuals whose principal owner of Ultimate Bet, Russ Hamilton, multiple accounts of poker sites in question to relieve tens of thousands of players.
Revelations that could make noise

The consequences of the revelations made by Travis Makar, in view of their precision and scope, do more than place a little more over the scandal that never ends. They could undermine or outright sinking, one of the biggest online poker rooms of the world and all who were involved in this case decidedly more “preposterous.”
Travis Makar, the man who knew too much

Makar is primarily a computer programmer working at the time for UltimateBet and Russ Hamilton. Recently, Makar has participated in two interviews for the radio show at Radio DonkDown which revealed evidence of the involvement of other players at his host Bryan Micon.

To summarize the recent development of the case, Makar called the radio show is spent long moments to explain several key points of the scandal, including arriving at the following conclusions:

• Several accounts were used for cheating on a large scale, at different levels
• a cover-up took place to cover up the case, including evidence of extortion and money circulation below-the-table, a ‘cover up’ massive and intentional
• Russ Hamilton, the main suspect, is far from the only person involved.
• Money “delivered” to the victims is very close to covering the full extent of amounts “steal”
The bomb exploded by e-mail

The latest development of the case came from an email with an attachment on the program “God Mode” (God Mode), a small software with great effects allowing cheaters supposed to see the hole cards of their opponents.

The e-mail dated Thursday, September 8, 2005 was revealed at the show Bryan Micon DonkDown Radio and contains instructions to install the program. It also includes three names hidden by Makar, who refused to identify them but said their names were about other people that Russ Hamilton, the man long (and still is) suspected of masterminding the whole operation .

Below we present the copy of the email in question, the original names have been replaced by the names “superuser 1,” “superuser 2,” and “Programming”:

He is American, has won more than $ 4.2 million in live tournaments, has not much hair and loves baseball, hence its nickname. It is necessarily Eric “basebaldy” Baldwin .

Baldwin made the A recently after re-signed with Team UB and have earned her selection for the NBC National Heads-Up Championship. In addition, the tournament is Big Event stage March 10 to 15 in Los Angeles, where Baldwin had won a title in Bounty Shootout last November.

PokerNews has met to talk about his unexpected non-participation in the Big Event in Los Angeles, his views on the upcoming NBC Heads-Up Championship, its topicality and its projects pout 2011.

PokerNews: We’ve heard rumors that you will not participate in the Big Event in Los Angeles. Since you’ve won the last of the Bounty Shootout NAPT Los Angeles , one might think that you would try your luck in this tournament. What is it exactly?

Eric Baldwin: Well there was a tournament (Bounty) from the BCP. This is clearly a tournament that normally I would not fail, but I have some family problems right now and people who come to visit me in Las Vegas, so I think this is not the right time for me make such a move.
You were recently selected for the NBC National Heads-Up Championship. Were you expecting this?

Earlier this year I had hoped but was not sure. I have not made a strong impression last year, coming in the first round on a nasty bad beat that was not shown on TV, so from the outside we just felt that I ‘I took a beating. When the first wave of invitations was launched, I did not party, so I was a little disappointed, but there was a qualifying tournament at Caesars.

I’ve finished heads up against one of my best friends, Justin Young, I had beaten in the Bounty Shootout tournament for a seat on NBC, so it was a rather incredible. He beat me this time and won the ticket, I was very happy for him but I was disappointed not to play it. Luckily, I was appointed in the second wave of invitations which with any luck I’ll meet him in the final and then put a beating.

PokerNews: Last year you were eliminated in the first round by Leo Wolpert. Did you learn a lesson from this game that could serve you this year?

Eric Baldwin: Yes, nothing specific but just the experience itself. In a context as important, how the weekend will unfold, and know what to expect, makeup, interviews, parties before the tournament and everything. I just think it’ll help me feel more comfortable this year. I was happy to be there last year, but this time I’ll really try to do damage.

PokerNews: The draw for this gala NBC National Heads-Up Championship is fast approaching. If you could choose your opponent, who would it be and why?

Eric Baldwin: I think playing against Emmitt Smith would be pretty nice because I heard that he was not very good and it’s obviously a huge sports star that would be pretty cool to deal with. The draw ideal if I could choose, would be someone who will attract the cameras but not necessarily very good at poker. Emmitt Sorry, but I think you’d be perfect in this role.

PokerNews: Who do you like least in the first round face?

Eric Baldwin: My buddy Justin. We would like as an ideal scenario does not end up in the finals, so hopefully both be competing in tables where the only chance we have to meet is in the final.

PokerNews: The LA Poker Classic just finished. Did you play? Did you bring special memories?

Eric Baldwin: Yes I played it, and not very good. I go back in fact. I went out very early on Day 2 and it was rather boring. I only played two great shots throughout the tournament. The first, I enjoyed a big game against a guy, and the second is I who have suffered. I’m finally out on a standard coin flip.

PokerNews: In early February you signed a contract extension for two years as a member of Team UB. Was it a natural choice for you?

Eric Baldwin: Yes, it really was. Of course it would be really stupid not to consider all options available to you, but at the end of the day was evident. I love being part of the core of a pro team where I actually say in my meetings with management or with respect to the trademark or any other consideration. So it’s a pleasant feeling than not being lost in a team with hundreds of pros, where I feel like just one more name or number for them. I am very happy with where we are. It’s so easy to talk about the shipment, but if you look at our team and what happens, you will see that we are not there for nothing.

PokerNews: Is there a chance to see you play on the plateau of Poker After Dark or High Stakes Poker in the near future?

Eric Baldwin: Yes, and it will be released in April. I’m in an episode of Poker After Dark where you will also see Doyle Brunson, Tom Dwan, Melanie Weisner, Andrew and Annette Obrestad Lichtenberger. It was a shootout tournament to $ 50,000.
You’ve raised $ 4.2 million in live tournaments in your career. We imagine that you set aside for your old age, but have you spent in recent years and what?

I think my two biggest purchases were my house and a car that I bought just before the start of the WSOP last year. This car is for sure my biggest expense of fun. This is a Mercedes E63 and it’s really not a necessary expense, by cons is very fun.

PokerNews: You won a WSOP bracelet and title NAPT, not to mention honors Player of the Year. What are you most proud of?

Eric Baldwin: I would say it is the Player of the Year. The most intense moment and the happiest of my playing career was when the last card fell to afford the WSOP bracelet, it was just an incredible feeling, but the Player of the Year (POY Player of the Year) it is not won by winning one or two tournaments. It must be very good for twelve months so I think this award is truly gratifying and it’s really a very cool title to have, because nobody can take it back.

PokerNews: What are your plans for 2011?

Eric Baldwin: All in good time. NBC Heads-Up and first I want to develop my game beyond NLHE somewhat. I really want to devote myself to it in the months before the World Series so I could give more chances to win my second bracelet, and why not a third. I just try to store more confidence in all the alternatives and maximize my chances of making noise in the tournament schedules.

The action in high-stakes tables at Full Tilt Poker and PokerStars was upbeat from 1 to 3 March. A ‘XWINK has remade an appearance on the first site and earned $ 700,000 and Ilari “Ilari FIN” Sahamies remained its momentum on the second.
