Poker player Robbi Jade Lew says "I've kinda lost interest in the whole matter". That is in reference to one of last year's hottest poker stories (has it really been that long?). In case you missed it....here's a recap.
Robbi Jade Lew, a relatively new player to the live circuit, was accused of using a vibration device to help her win a $130,000 hand during play at the Hustler Casino back in October of last year.
She won the all-in hand for a pot of $269,000.
But Garrett Adelstein, who lost the hand, believed Lew had cheated during the game.
The two later met in what was described as a "dark hallway" because....why not??
Lew would go on to tweet:
"Garrett blocked me. Guilty as charged. What an honest man. He cornered me & threatened me. If he has the audacity to give me the death stare ON camera, picture what it’s like OFF camera. I was pulled out of the game & forced to speak to him in a dark hallway. Full details to come."
Lew said she gave him all the winnings....perhaps out of duress.
Both were banned from playing at the casino while Hustler conducted its own investigation into the matter.
Hustler Casino Live co-founder Nick Vertucci said at the time Robbi being relatively new to poker could have simply misread the hand.
He said: "'There's no possibility that there's anything that could be cheating goes. We've checked everything."
Fast forward a year and Robbi is back...so is Adelstein....feet from each other.
Poker.org asked for the update and we got it.
