The Hustler Casino “Cheating” Allegations Much Ado About Nothing?

There have been plenty of times when cheating in poker has occurred. The Russ Hamilton-led Ultimate Bet Superuser scandal is one particular moment that comes to mind, and the Mike Postle Stones Live situation has never been fully explained. Add into that the history of cheating in the game of poker – the usage of ‘shiners,’ marked cards, or special ink visible only by wearing a certain color sunglass. But an incident occurred in a live streamed event recently that people are being very quick to accuse as cheating instead of the much more likely situation that it was just a bad play.
Big Money Brings Big Problems
Once again, the streaming program Hustler Casino Live is the battleground for the latest accusations of cheating. If you will remember, the streaming program was the site of a cheating allegation earlier this year when a player was sneaking a peek at the hole cards of another player at the table. This allegation, however, does not seem to have much evidence to it and more like sour grapes from the person who tried to make a move.
The hand went down as such.
Garrett Adelstein, who is a notable player on the Hustler shows, was in a $100/$200 cash game with some players who were not otherwise notable. Holding an 8♣ 7♣, Adelstein raised out of the THIRD blind (indicative of the action), while a player by the name of Robbi Jade Lew made the call on the straddle with a measly J-4. A 10-10♣ 9♣ flop hit the felt, giving Lew absolutely nothing and Adelstein the world.
