Overview
- WSOP tournament director Andy Tillman removed Lin from Day 2 of the $5,300 WSOP Super Circuit Cyprus Main Event for violating GGPoker’s integrity policy, according to the event’s official updates.
- The decision followed claims that Lin advised eventual GGMillion$ winner “RealOA” during the Oct. 14 online final table, with screenshots and messages shared by third-place finisher “Buzzcut.”
- Lin issued a public apology admitting he gave in-game advice, said he received no financial benefit, and reported that RealOA returned most of the $346,903 while he would cover the remainder for redistribution.
- GGPoker’s Security & Ecology policy prohibits any external assistance during play, and the operator has asserted authority to apply online conduct standards to WSOP-branded live tournaments.
- Fellow ambassador Daniel Negreanu said Lin’s statement accepts responsibility, while any further penalties or employment decisions have not been announced.
