The organizers apparently paid out only $10,000 to each of the players in question \u2013 <strong>Stephen Deutsch, Joan Sandoval, and Michael Lerner<\/strong> at the event, asking them to leave wire transfer details in order to send the outstanding. All three players finished within the top six of the Aruba PPC event.<\/p>\n<p>However, none of the players have so far received the remainder of their winnings. The letter sent by the players\u2019 lawyer has said that if the monies aren\u2019t paid by the specified deadline, a lawsuit for fraud, breach of contract and other related charges will be filed against the organizers.<\/p>\n<p>In the Aruba Championship, Deutsch had taken the top spot for $133,687. Lerner came in fourth place with $48,126 and Sandoval was in sixth for $21,390. According to the players after deducting the initial $30,000 paid the amount still due is $173,000. Deutsch has refused to comment on the matter.<\/p>\n<p>In a statement, <strong>Mac VerStandig<\/strong>, the players\u2019 lawyer said <\/p>\n<blockquote><p>We are hopeful that rumour and conjecture will soon give way to reasoned explanation and the various players will receive the monies they rightfully won. Should that not occur, we are actively exploring all legal options<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>All attempts to contact key officials from PPC, <strong>Bryan Oulton<\/strong> and <strong>Sandy Swartzbaugh<\/strong> have not yet been successful. A discussion thread at a popular poker forum has revealed that others  in top seven winners list for the Championship have also not yet received the full amount of their winnings.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, one of PPC\u2019s sponsored pros <a href=\"http:\/\/foxpoker.com\/\">Chris Fox Wallace<\/a> is said to have not yet received his dues pending from September in full. He stated that he hasn\u2019t been able to contact Swartzbaugh, adding that he was disappointed at the way the issue was being handled. Other pros representing the brand are <strong>Ronnie Bardah<\/strong> and <strong>Mark P0ker H0 Kroon<\/strong>. <\/p>\n<p>This year was the fourth edition of the PPC festival tour. Tournaments for the fifth season in 2017 have been advertised at PPC\u2019s website \u2013 one called <strong>Isle Casino Winter Series<\/strong> and another <strong>Tampa Downs Winter Fest<\/strong> \u2013 but no details on it are available so far.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Players Poker Championship (PPC) has allegedly failed to make full payouts to the winners of the PPC Aruba World Championship that was held in November 2016.
