During a televised World Poker Tour event on Friday, Garrett ‘Gman’ Adelstein accused his opponent Robbi Jade Lew of cheating. The game in question was broadcast by Hustler Casino Live which saw Adelstein losing a hand to a relative newcomer Lew.
Adelstein had a better hand but Lew ended up winning with an unlikely hand, and Adelstein, an experienced gambler, accused her of cheating. According to statements Adelstein uploaded to Twitter, he confronted Lew and accused her of cheating. Eventually, she offered to give him back all of his money, something Adelstein took as an admission of guilt.
There is suspicion that Lew could have been wearing some form of vibrating device that helped her cheat. For her part, Lew continues to deny cheating and took to Twitter to say the following.
“I read the man and make a hero call after he shoves on a turned brick card. Get over it,” Lew said.
“I’ll say it again like I’ve said it before: ‘I’m not playing nice in the sandbox anymore.’ Make it right @GmanPoker. Or don’t. #IDGAF. I’ve already moved on. I’ll make it back either way.”
In a statement posted to its Twitter account on Saturday evening, the poker live-stream show said it’s currently in the process of hiring a law firm to “conduct a comprehensive investigation” and will hire a third-party cybersecurity company to review all video footage.
In the meantime, let’s take a look at Lew:
