In theory this could be a "one man job". However people with much more knowledge about RFID technology than me are sceptical, it can easily be hacked. They say, that maybe a player could read the cards of his neighbor at the table, but information would be confusing and incomplete.

Also if someone found a way to do this, then why limit himself to a particular local 1/3 and 2/5 stream? The RFID system used by Stones is exactly the same as that used in the WSOP main event and other big tournaments, where millions of dollars are at stake. So why not go much bigger? Or move around to attract less attention. The only reason to stay in the same local 1/3 cash game, is, that this is the place, where he got inside assistance. 
  
And while the technology at Stones is the same as everywhere else, the same is not the case with the safety precautions taken by the casino to prevent RFID information from being passed on to a player in real time. In other casinos the editing room, to which RFID data is transmitted, is locked, and there might be a requirement of two persons always being there in random alternating shifts. WSOP even use an armed guard outside the room. But at Stones it was just a local 1/3 or 2/5 stream, so nobody apparently took the issue of safety serious.
