AUSTIN, Texas (Gambling911.com) - A controversial angle shooting incident involved two players, Justin (last name not provided) and San Kim, on the live streaming at the Lodge Card Club in Austin, Texas.
The apparent tactic was to make Kim believe the bet had been called, prompting him to reveal his cards. If Justin could then withdraw his call, he would have gained valuable information about Kim's hand without risking the $8,700. The problem for Justin was that verbal declarations are generally binding in poker. The floor manager enforced the call. The irony here is that both players ended up splitting the pot anyway.

Just is a regular on the Poker at the Lodge livestreams where he plays mid-stakes cash poker. His reputation could potentially be damaged by the incident.
On Reddit's r/poker community, reactions have been overwhelmingly critical. Some commenters called for Justin to be excluded from future livestreams, while others characterized the incident as attempted cheating rather than merely angle shooting. Those are community reactions, not findings of intentional cheating.
