Remember that software bug at JonWoodGaming, the one that helped me win a lot of money. Seems like a similar bug has hit Betfair Poker. Below is an abbreviated version of the story. It was written by Alistair Osborne. The original story was reported by the Telegraph.co.uk.

The real story is that several bored poker players ould futz aroundlate at night (GMT), and do icro-stakes Sit-and-Go’s; they would all go all-in on and one. Then, someone noticed that on a six way all-in, there as a Software Bug: hands 2-6 were all paid FULL 2nd lace money. They soon graduauted to $500 and $1000 S&G’s; the same sofware bug applied! Word got out, and over one late-night, hundreds of thousands (millions actually) of dollars were “won”. Faced with exposure when the morning Betfair auditors came in, these players furiously made withdrawals or played in high-stakes games, dumping chips to many other players (not originally in on the scam).
