A poker player who spent years creatively skirting around his ban from Caesars properties to play in the World Series of Poker is now suing the organization for kicking him out deep in the middle of the 2017 Main Event.

Maryland’s Joseph Stiers knew full well that Caesars had previously banned him from all its properties when he registered for the 2017 WSOP Main Event. It is precisely the reason why he did so as Joseph Conorstiers from Washington, D.C. in 2016, combining his middle and last names in an effort to fool WSOP staff into letting him play.

It worked. Joseph Conorstiers finished 640th for $18,714.

In 2017, he reportedly dropped the Stiers name altogether in a further effort to conceal his identity. This time he registered for the 2017 WSOP Main Event as Joseph Conor.

He actually managed to run up his starting stack to around 630,000 in chips heading into the dinner break on Day 3. Then WSOP brass figured out who he was. They kicked him out on the break and pulled the chips from play.

Now, Stiers has the gall to cry foul. He filed a federal lawsuit in June seeking equitable and injunctive relief and punitive damages.

Presently, other poker sites to prevent are Carbon Poker, Sportsbook.ag and Players Just which are on the Merge Gaming Network. Withdrawal times are taking 10-14 weeks for checks, 2+ months for wire transfers, and 11-21 days for bitcoin. Another website we absolutely didn't recommend dipping into was Full Flush Poker, they went offline on October 1, 2016. Gamers had actually requested checks and bank wires for over a year that they never ever received before they closed their doors.
