WCOOP Champion Disqualified

WCOOP Champion Disqualified

Pokerstars is pretty quiet about what the player who initially won the tournament of around 3,000 players for over 1 million dollars, actually did... Rumours abound about the player named, V0ID, including that he had used multiple accounts during the tournament. Though I can see how this would be grounds for disqualification, I question how much advantage playing 5-6 accounts would be given that there were 3,000 entrants in the tournament--in terms of the collusion argument. Certainly, it would be an unfair advantage in terms of increasing your probability of making it to the final table, However, with over 300 starting tables, it would likely be quite a while before you had two or more accounts at the same table.
