[edit] Account selling incident

In December 2007, Mizzi admitted involvement in an "account selling" incident where he took over from another location the account of another player, Chris Vaughn, during the middle of a Full Tilt Poker tournament. Mizzi went on to win the event but was disqualified, with first prize going to the original second place finisher.[3] Mizzi apologized for his action, but both Vaughn and Mizzi are now barred from playing on Full Tilt Poker.[4]
