A Youtube compilation holds compelling evidence of cheating at the 2009 Partouche Poker Tour final table in Cannes.

French players Jean Paul Pasqualini and Cedric Rossi are being accused of teaming up, by using hand signals to tell each other what cards they held. The eight minutes of damning video was put together by Nordine Bouya, another French poker player, and it shows the two accused time after time relaying their holdings by touching parts of their head and face.

Pasqualini and Rossi went on to first and second place in that tournament, respectively. Pasqualini won 1 million euros, while Rossi pocketed over 600k.

However, since there are no specific regulations governing poker tournaments there has been no investigation, and therefore no serious consequences will be as a result of the allegations.

One group that has responded, and taken steps to do something about it. The Global Poker Index, which tracks the performance of the world's best live poker tournament players, has banned both Pasqualini and Rossi from their rankings. "By taking this action, we are not claiming that we know they cheated, this is up to the casinos and the overseeing regulatory bodies to decide" said Global Poker Index CEO Alex Dreyfus. "What we are convinced of is that there wasn't fairness at the table. Unfair behavior will not be promoted via the Global Poker Index".

This isn't the only time cheating has been uncovered on the Partouche Poker Tour. In 2010 Ali Tekintamgac was disqualified from the final table, when video evidence came to light showing him reading hand signals from someone posing as a poker journalist and peeking at other players' cards.
