    Phil Ivey edge-sorting dispute

    Crockfords withheld Phil Ivey's reported £7.7 million baccarat winnings after alleging that he exploited edge sorting, a method involving the recognition of small irregularities on card backs. Ivey admitted using the technique but maintained that it was legitimate. The courts ultimately ruled in favour of Crockfords, with the Supreme Court describing the conduct as cheating under civil law.
