TL;DR

There’s potential violation of GGPoker’s SEP (Security & Ecology Policy) during the 2025/10/14 GG Millions Final Table. The champion, GG user “RealOA” shared his screen with other players (including but not limited to Tony Lin) during final table, and got real-time advice from other players to gain unfair advantage over other Final Table players and shipped the tournament. This page summarizes the information & evidences I (GG username: Buzzcut, 3rd place finisher in this Final Table) know to make such accusation against him.

SEP

For detailed SEP terms: please check out: https://ggpoker.com/network/security-ecology-policy/, I just screenshotted the most related parts.

Using GG username to reference the main characters involved for the following page.
