Borgata wants Phil Ivey’s baccarat countersuit dismissed

There is no end in sight in the legal feud between Phil Ivey and the Borgata Hotel & Casino. This time, the Atlantic City casino is seeking to have the poker pro’s suit dismissed.

On Wednesday, Borgata filed a motion asking the federal court to dismiss the famous player’s counterclaims, the New Jersey Herald reported.

The casino wrote in its Wednesday’s filing: “The facts of this case are undisputed that Mr. Ivey and Ms. Sun set out to deceive Borgata with their sophisticated scheme and they were successful in doing so.”

To recap, the casino accused Ivey and his associate, Cheng Yin Sun, of scamming them out of $9.6 million by card sorting—exploiting a defect in the card manufacturing process to identify the face value of cards—while playing mini-baccarat in 2012. According to Borgata, the technique violates New Jersey casino gambling regulations.
