Ren Lin, a high-stakes poker professional and GGPoker ambassador, was disqualified from the WSOP Super Circuit Cyprus Main Event for violating online poker rules by offering real-time coaching to a player at the final table. The incident, which took place during a $10,300 online event, involved Lin allegedly providing advice to the winner, 'RealOA,' through a shared screen and chat messages, which is against GGPoker's strict policy on external assistance. Lin claimed he joined a call during a break and only offered advice out of friendship, denying any profit or stake in the outcome. Despite the controversy, renowned poker player Daniel Negreanu publicly supported Lin, stating his character and character in the poker community are trustworthy and that Lin accepted responsibility. Lin has apologized publicly, stating he received a $100 payment which he rejected and that he will never help a player in real time again. The incident has sparked debate within the poker community, especially given Lin's role as a GGPoker ambassador and the platform's policies against external help. Lin also received disqualification from the live tournament, and his future participation in WSOP events remains uncertain. The online poker community continues to discuss the implications of the incident, with some seeing it as a mistake and others questioning the integrity policies.
