Online poker pro Jay Rosenkrantz was at the center of multi-accounting allegations this week after admitting to using a friend’s account to play poker in 2007.

TwoPlusTwo member ‘CrazyMan1122′ spoke of the incident, where Rosenkrantz is believed to have taken part in several sessions of high stakes cash games under the alias ‘Wasted Potential’, in a thread before Rosenkrantz responded to confirm the suspicions.

“Yes ‘Wasted Potential’ was my old roommate and yes we played on his account (for a very brief period of time, maybe only a few sessions.”

“It was a few years ago, I regret doing it, and I stopped doing it after it was clearly decided in the community to not be ok.”

Rosenkrantz also spoke of how the game has changed completely since the incident three years ago and that he had no idea of his wrong doing at the time.

However, the tale took another twist after it was alleged the ‘Wasted Potential’ account had been used as late as last year.

‘J-Mac’, the roommate in question, then explained the situation which arose in October.

“That was not Jay playing on the account in October. But it was also not me.”

“There was very rich guy who was having a hard time getting a high stakes account on Full Tilt.”

“He approached me and asked if I could help. I said sure, set up the account for high stakes, gave him the password and told him good luck.”

Patrik Antonius promptly took the mystery player to the cleaners before the account was locked.

There remains no firm evidence regarding the theories of those involved and questions remain about how the unknown player transferred the huge sum to take on Antonius.
