V0id Case Against Pokerstars – Dropped

Natalie Teltscher, who is the sister of well-known pro poker player Mark Teltscher, will not be seeing any of the $1.2+ million that was won on her PokerStars account in the 2007 World Championship of Online Poker last fall.
Natalie Teltscher was Disqualified after 2007 WCOOP Main Event Victory when it was rumored Natalie, who owned the account TheV0id, had breached tournament rules by letting someone else play her account for the entirety of the WCOOP main event and because that
Teltscher filed a complaint in the Isle of Man courts after PokerStars disqualified her account’s victory in the Online Poker event, for which she was awarded more than $1.2 million (after the players agreed to a deal) but when faced with the evidence PokerStars collected proving that she was not the person playing under the username registered to her name (TheV0id), she eventually admitted she hadn't played. According to PokerStars, Teltscher also agreed to pay a sum of PokerStars’ legal fees.

PokerStars released the following Statement to the Press:


“PokerStars is pleased to announce that Natalie Teltscher has recently withdrawn her claim in the Isle of Man Courts against PokerStars. Furthermore, in discontinuing her claim, she has agreed to contribute a sum towards the legal costs incurred by PokerStars in this matter.

Ms Teltscher brought her claim against PokerStars because she was disqualified from first place of the 2007 WCOOP Main Event after PokerStars internal investigations demonstrated beyond doubt that she had not played on the account. On her disqualification all other players were moved one place higher in the prize table and the money confiscated from her account, TheV0id, was redistributed in full, according to the amended tournament placings.

Ms Teltscher initially claimed that she had played the account. However, when faced with the results from PokerStars’ investigation she eventually admitted she hadn’t played.

The decision of Ms Teltscher to withdraw her claim fully vindicates PokerStars’ decision to disqualify her from the tournament and subsequently defend the claim, actions which were taken in order to protect the integrity of the games on offer at PokerStars.
