I don't follow poker but found this interesting
TLDR: Lady makes amazing bluff, loser gets suspicious, eventually they go back stage with casino executive, accuse her of cheating on video that is going to be viral, she opts to refund the money won without admitting guilt...
One of the wildest calls you’ll ever see has led to allegations of cheating in poker.

I have played a lot of poker, including some WSOP circuit events.
I'll explain it.
There is no story here. Only two dipshits that don't really play poker, but they have some kind of b-class celebrity status.
Lew thought he had nothing, and in fact, despite the pot odds, implied odds, she was correct.
Adelstein was a fking dunce in his shove, despite his draw.
Lew is a terrible bluffer, and it showed. Adelstein is a fking crybaby, and terrible bluffer.
Neither one of them could beat me, if you sat me at that table, staked me, and said, "We are playing HORSE."
NL Holdem has become rife with this kind of player, and it makes me wish I had a stake and good casino nearby.
Unusual? Hell no, it happens all the time now.
Cheating? LMMFAO! Yeah, when you play with players this stupid, it looks like cheating.
Adelstein lost. He missed all his draws.
He lost.
Did he have pot odds....mmmyeah maybe in the end. Something tells me he was doing that a lot, and he got caught. Boo hoo.
I've missed draws plenty when I was 80% or better to win....and missed. Yeah, I was pissed, but that is poker. No one ever gave me my money back, and I never acted like they should.
These are the kind of idiots that wait for you in the parking lot because they are a loser.
I see no news here, don't even know how it made the news. Spend enough time in a casino, and you'll see it every day.
The real tell is that she agreed to "run it twice" yeah, this clearly shows she is completely out of her depth.
Card readers and buzzers....lmao!
Whoever wrote the article knows less about poker and how it is played than Lew and Adelbrain.
No cheating here, just dumbass....truckloads of dumbass on both sides.
