PokerGO has announced that Jake Schindler and Ali Imsirovic have been suspended from the PokerGO Tour due to poker cheating allegations. These two players are no longer allowed to participate in the Poker Masters high roller series or any PokerGO events for the rest of the year.
Fans noticed the absence of Schindler and Imsirovic from the PokerGO Tour leaderboard as the two players are no longer eligible to win.
