| Aussie Millions Champ in court | 2009 07 03 02:59 pm | A TOP New Zealand poker player has been dragged through the courts by his closest card-playing mate after a big cash haul at a Melbourne casino. Lebanese men Jamil Dia and Constantine Harach used to be the best of friends, playing competitively for years as afar afield as Russia, often agreeing to share each others wins and losses to spread the gambling risk. But all turned sour for the Wellington immigrants at Melbourne's Crown Casino in January 2005 and the saga has been playing out in Kiwi courts ever since. As the facts go, Mr Dia, a bakery owner, won more than NZ$700,000 ($554,000) that day at the casino when he was crowned 2005 Australian poker champion. Mr Harach, a hairdresser, was rankled by the win and has claimed since that they'd agreed this time to share 20 per cent of each other's winnings, a claim denied by Mr Dia. The pair are now locked in a bitter dispute that has ended up in court five times to date, the Dominion Post newspaper reports. Mr Dia appears to have the winning hand this time around, with a District Court judge unconvinced that the two men did have an agreement. But Mr Harach appealed the decision in New Zealand's High Court yesterday, with a decision by Justice Forrie Miller reserved. |

| APA Joe Meissner refuses to refund legal fees | 2009 05 08 02:27 pm | We are a group of poker enthusiasts that took over the duties from the previous committee that were involved at the time of the 2005 poker raids here in adelaide. After winning the case, the legal costs were awarded back to all involved with lawyer D'Angelo's class action.. These funds were passed on by the lawyers to apa president joe meissner for distribution back to the members. On contacting Joe, we have been told that he "is looking into" the matters and that he himself is "out of pocket." After numerous contacts with joe, he has refused to release any money to any player. That money does not belong to Joe - it belongs to the members. Joe has been told by the lawyers that if he has a personal claim ( expenses) , he is to take it up personally with the police. If anybody is owed money from this court case,(see list below) contact Joe direct on 02-4577-3218 Again, this money is NOT Joe's and belongs to all the players !
