Sefula Seiji is a 43 years of Oak Ridge, NJ poker player. Last week, he was arrested by Pennsylvania police for cheating in a casino (the Sands Casino Resort). It marked the cards using a sandpaper with a pretty accurate system. A mark in the corner at the top left meant an ACE, and according to the value of the cards, he was descended.
His first visit to the casino was very well for him, in the sense that had not officially been caught. The problem is that it had been taken by the cameras. This time, he had managed to get out of the casino without problem, but, as one might expect, would not this opportunity twice.
From this moment, he was on the black list of the casino. His biggest mistake was to step foot in this casino. After scoring 39 cards on 52 in under an hour, he was intercepted by local authorities.
The casino had doubts during a routine inspection while several cards were trademarks. They immediately looked at security cameras to see if anything appeared as abnormal and this is where they saw clearly Sefula Seiji mark cards with his finger. They had life easy as the culprit put feet inside the casino less than 24 hours after his first crime.
Jackie Taschner judge who sent him to Northampton County prison required him bail of $ 75,000. It would no longer have the right to step foot in a casino (or another facility).
The story does not say if his technique allowed him to earn a lot of money. On the other hand, we know that the culprit has won a few awards in poker tournaments in the course of the past four years, including a $ 4526 to Atlantic City by finishing 27th scholarship of the WSOPC $1,650. Probably only an investigation into these gains will be opened.
