Pro poker player is accused of using 'hidden vibrating device' to help her win $130,000 hand: Gives money back to her opponent - but claims she was forced to hand it over 'in a dark hallway'
UK Daily Mail ^ | 10/1/2022 | James Gordon

A pro poker player is alleging that his opponent 'clearly cheated' during a livestreamed game of poker after she returned her earnings to her opponent.

Garrett Adelstein has suggested that his female opponent, Robbi Jade Lew, could have cheated by using a 'device hidden that simply vibrates to indicate you have the best hand.'(snip)

Lew, 35, suddenly made a call to go all-in despite having a relatively poor hand, leaving Adelstein and observers agape.

Those commentating on the game were in disbelief because the odds were stacked against her with online betting casino DraftKings calculating there were around 150 ways for Lew to lose, but only six ways for her to win - which she proceeded to do.

Adelstein forced Lew to go all in with her $130,000 hand and appeared shocked as her cards revealed her to have a 'Jack high', winning the game and taking the entire $269,000 pot.

(snip)

During the game in question Garrett had needed a club, six or a jack, but Lew's jack won the hand.

The look on Adelstein's face as he lost the hand said it all as he stared on in disbelief and simmering rage.

'I don't understand what's happening right now,' he said.

'You look like you want to kill me. I thought you had ace high,' Lew said.

'So, why call with jack high?' Adelstein said. A jack high would have lost to ace high.

'Because you don't have s**t!' Lew said.

Adelstein then got up and left the table.

If she'd cheat at poker with a vibrating device, just imagine what would happen playing her in a game of cornhole.

Some spots are perfect for a bluff. When they least expect it’s a bluff is the absolute best time to try it. You can’t just assume someone has cheated you unless you can prove it.

This thread could get interesting. Especially if you only read the headline.

Some say it was her ring sending the signal.

But it was still a coin flip. Twice as they ran it twice.

She should have kept the money as her opponent surely would have had he won.

This Lady looks as though she’ had a very interesting life.
She has a very shapely figure, a nice smile when she choses to smile, a sense of humor and an edgy but not entirely clear attitude. She has the posture of a Spy.
Many a man would be happy to pay all of her bills, if she would just ‘be nice’ to him every once in a while.

Yeah, saw this exchange last night on Youtube and was wondering what the accusation was.

If she was cheating it makes no sense. Calling a huge bluff with a pathetic weak hand makes it too obvious. If you have the ability to get signals from someone who can see the cards you wait for a hand where you have something to win.

It has to be just a brain fade move on her part, like she saw a pair or something.

No, cheating in pro sports using vibrating devices only happens in Chess.

(Goog Hans Neimann and vibrating devices, or maybe don’t ...)

If he called her bluff and lost ... so be it.

She’s new to the game. Probably not cheating, since if she was cheating she would have likely folded. She got lucky is all. It happens.

Oh, she called with jack high? I didn’t see that. In that case it wasn’t a bluff at all and now I understand why they accused her. Thanks for the clarification. But still, if she knew she had the best hand why didn’t she go all in? It would have looked like a good bluff and the player would have folded so she wouldn’t even have to show.

Wow, and I thought the LoveSense was only for cam girls. Hopefully she only needed a short vibration, or she would have tipped her hand with a royal flush.
