Stumbled on this just by a chance. Another bad stain for the poker industry.
What do you think?

Don't think she did it. She was a begginer player who made a bad play and got lucky. Simple as that.

I think that video is utterly cringeworthy clickbait,

... the recent video of the guy "hacking" a shuffler by plugging his phone into it in a private game has nothing to do with a live hand played years ago...

... he got caught in a bluff and had a fit until she gave the money back, if anything gives poker a bad name it's a sore loser👍

This has been discussed to no end when it happened. Now 2 years later there is nothing new to it. She most likely didnt cheat and this guy Adelstein will not win a price for most likeable character. Thats about it.

this isn't news. It is ancient history.

Why not post 'news' about cheating... you know like the huge takedown of people from 4 NYC mob families where players have been robbed of 10's of millions.

To be fair to OP I've had this vid. coming up in my Youtube feed but hadn't bothered watching it as I figured it would be click bait slop. Might give it a quick look but doubt there will be any shocking revelations.

At the time I remember thinking she hadn't cheated but why the hell give the $$ back? I guess everyone was still reeling after Postle.

Im not so sure she didn't cheat. When confronted she returned the money she won to Garrett which could be seen as admission of guilt. Also, one of the staff members who hadcaccesss to the cameras was caught removing chips from her stack during a break as if he was worried about getting stiffed. Why just hers?

It's not that easy to just say "Yes she cheated", in which case, the "HOW" question would be brought. Let alone the absence of evidence.
On the other hand, that staff member action and her giving back the money certainly puts doubt into people's mind.

I don't believe a player, even someone who had never played before, would call a bet with J4 off suit, especially that big of a bet.
Then u need to play more poker. Everything is possible in this game and total beginners making huge mistakes like this should be pretty common.
