In the latest chapter of a legal battle over alleged illegal edge sorting, Atlantic City's Borgata Casino has moved to have counter-claims against them by Phil Ivey dismissed from court. In response to an August counter-claim by the American poker pro, Borgata has filed a motion to have Ivey's claims thrown out of court, which will be heard on Nov. 2.
Ivey has been at the centre of controversy for much of 2015 thanks to the legal claims against him and his co-defendant, Cheung Yin Sun, who have been accused of illegally counting cards using the edge-sorting technique in a series of games at Borgata.
