Google the Absolute one - it was one hell of a story. Essentially, people suspected one chap could see everyones' hole cards when he won a big money MTT and played like he could see all the cards, particularly the last hand where he called all-in and win with someything like a 10 high lol.

Guys on a poker forum looked at all his aliases and checked all their hand history and found a pattern of 100% wins and folds that insicted he knew everyone's cards. He'd been playing a lot of big money cash games.

They pestered the admins at Absolute who denied anythign at 1st, then, a techie their "accidentally" sent the complainant a hand hhistory file that showed all the other player's hole cards - google it - you can se the movie on youtube.

Friggin hillarious. They ended up admitting he had access to a special admin account (he was connected to ex staff, or was ex staff) and could log on with the account on a second pc and watch all the hole cared as he played

Lots of people were paid compensation

wonderful stuff!
