Drew McIlvain Can Only Blame Himself for Chip Dumping Incident

Drew McIlvain was recently kicked out of the Tunica WSOP Circuit Main Event for collusion in chip dumping from another player.  An interview with him and WSOP VP of Corporate Communications Seth Palansky is currently featured over at PokerNews.com with McIlvain giving his side of the story and Palansky explaining why they took action.

The skinny of the article is as follows:

• A player suggested dumping his stack to McIlvain



• McIlvain never said no and continued to talk with him at length about it.



• McIlvain never informed a floor person about his opponent's plan



• Palansky explains that the WSOP has footage, including audio of the conversation that points to collusion.
