As other online sources had already done, Cardplayer reported a couple of hours ago that PokerStars has announced that, after recently concluding a two-week long investigation, it has disqualified the winner of the Sept. 30 World Championship of Online Poker (WCOOP) main event and redistributed the prize pool for the tournament. The winning player, whose online nick was "TheV0id" and who no one believes was Mark Teltscher's sister, has forfeited the $1.2 million first place prize.
