Phil Ivey Suffers Another Bad Beat: "This decision makes no sense"

Phil Ivey is currently embroiled in two multimillion-dollar edge sorting cases against the Atlantic City casino in United States and Crockfords casino in London, and so far it doesn't look good for Ivey.
Last month, a federal judge ruled that Ivey and his companion violated state gambling regulations in the way they won nearly $10 million playing Baccarat at an Atlantic City casino. The ruling meant another setback for Ivey, who now stands to lose his case against the casino and might have to pay his winnings back.
Yesterday it was reported, that Ivey has now also lost an appeal over whether he cheated when he used a card technique to win 7.7 million pounds ($9.6 million) at a form of baccarat in London casino Crockfords. Ivey won the money in 2012, but Crockfords casino had declined to pay Ivey his winnings at that time resulting Ivey to sue the casino.
"This decision makes no sense. The trial judge said that I was not dishonest and the three appeal judges agreed but somehow the decision has gone against me. Can someone tell me how you can have honest cheating?", Ivey said in a statement, adding that he will now seek to appeal the ruling to the Supreme Court.

I think this is true. I remember him flipping back to back on Full Tilt playing PLO with Ilari Sahamies for 500K like it was nothing.
Zohan says:
One thing is obvious. He cant beat a game- never was full tilt a regular site where he cheated people out of their millions. Ivey and the group were super users for sure. When group changed the owner he made 6 mio loss.
2nd of all. All circumstances proof us he is a scammer. Not once, but many times. And I hope he looses all of his cases.
It is not very hard to play 100k, 250k etc games, if you were getting 1 mio paychecks from Full tilt.
