Brunson vs Rivers

Joan Rivers was on the Dan Le Batard show on 790 AM in Miami the other day, and, ironically, so was Doyle Brunson. Some of you may recall Joan's hatred of poker players. Now, it could just be hatred forAnnie Duke that carries over to the entire poker community, we're not sure.

But anyway, the guys on the show start off by asking Joan about Doyle Brunson and she immediately goes off saying he should, "go away and quit trying to get famous off her back." She also thinks he should go "die under a deck of cards."

Brunson was on the show a bit later and after hearing what she said, replied that "dying under a deck of cards would be a good place to go" as opposed to where she was going to die, in "a pile of manure." Turns out, Rivers was supposed to come to Vegas and apologize for treating Duke the way she did and for insulting poker players. Brunson was selected to accept her apology, which never happened. Brunson is very protective of the poker community and is pissed off at her."Joan Rivers don't need us and we don't need her, so good luck to her," he said.

Aced Can't Pay

When there's a dispute between a payment-processing company and an online poker site, it's not good for poker players. MergePoker Network's, Aced.com is such a poker site and PIC Club Poker is the payment-processing platform.

PIC says it was owed $100k in fees, which was adjudicated in a settlement, that was never paid by Merge. Merge is accusing PIC of sending in a player to deposit and withdraw large sums of money, which resulted in large fees that would be owed to PIC.

Now, Aced.com is saying it cannot pay its players. In an email exchange, found on Gambling911.com, between Aced.com and one of its customers, it appears to be a big mess to us. A lot of back and forth that doesn't seem necessary. The money is somewhere and the poker player isn't getting paid.
