Tony "Ren" Lin issued a public apology for providing a friend real-time advice during an online poker tournament, and Daniel Negreanu stood up for his colleague amid poker's latest scandal.
A GGPoker player, last week, accused Lin, a prominent high-stakes pro, of assisting the eventual champion — "RealOA" — during the $10,300 buy-in GGMillion$ final table. The champion would go on to win over $300,000, while Lin suffered the consequences in the form of a Day 2 disqualification during the $5 million guaranteed World Series of Poker Super Circuit Cyprus Main Event on Saturday.
