The world's biggest online poker room, PokerStars, recently confirmed that they are investigating a situation involving suspected cheaters using artificial intelligence while playing in mid-stakes pot-limit Omaha games.
Internet detectives estimate that the suspected players, primarily from Russia and Kazakhstan, won almost $1.5 million at the $0.50/$1 and $1/$2 pot-limit Omaha tables. It is believed this amount could be even higher when taking into account benefits received through PokerStars VIP and Stellar Rewards programs.
It is speculated that cheating may have also occurred on the room's sister site, Full Tilt, and on 888poker, the second largest online poker room according to ring-game traffic data provided by PokerScout.
