Yes, and that tells me that it was a way more coerced effort than one or two guys. These scams just keep popping up. Hans Neiman also cheated in chess. I'm 100% sure about this. Yet so many take up for him. Without the public, you have no poker tournaments. The organizers are not hosting one because they are such sweet people. They are doing it because they make a fortune at it! It takes the public's support though. They can't even guarantee that everything is fair. There are corrupting spirits at work literally everywhere now. Everything that is made is suddenly double the price and last 20% as long as before. Long story short, these cheating scandals are a very organized effort with many in on it and making it nearly impossible to prove it. Like seeing someone's hole cards. There are only one source that that information goes to! That is so easy to track down, but strangely no one mentions this because it is a coverup from people higher up than the ones organizing a poker tournament.

There should be NO technology allowed at the tables. Phones should be put aside. No ear buds or any tech in the pocket. Patted down before we get to the tables

The constant text full screen highlighting the script is really obnoxious.

So CLEARLY Postle was looking at something in his lap so have someone walk up behind him or the player next to him look over

IDK why phones are even allowed at a card table.

There is no evidence of her cheating. It's just that the play she made, and the things she said afterwards were kinda suspect. The play itself is weird, and when she's trying to explain her thought process it doesn't make any sense. A lot of people suspect her of cheating, other people think she just made a really bad play and got lucky.

Anyway Ms. Zhou endup gave the ticket to her boyfriend who is the owner of the poker promotional youtube called ECGAB. At the end she end up giving the ticket to her boyfriend/coach ayway. ECGAB account is fictitious.

39:55 "I was born in China, raised there until the age of 3" is such a weird sentence

And even if they did and he went back on his "deal" with his backer... who cares? That's between Gold and his backer, has nothing to do with how the play was at the tables does it? I mean did he cheat when playing the WSOP that year or is this "controversy" just over the agreement or non-agreement between him and some other dude? I mean, if he didn't cheat and he won it fair and square, then the contract with the backer is just other news and they can settle it or not.

Pros have backers all the dammed time to avoid variance. He wasn’t very good before the wsop main win he had and this video has incorrect bullshit thru the entire thing. First off, it’s not only legal and not in the rules whatsoever, to have backers. It happens for literally thousands of players each WSOP. Gold was still very much an amateur player at the time and had most of his money at that juncture tied up in his production company-which was his full time job before this tournament. The video shows several highlights but all of those were AFTER his main event win and he was extremely bad in the high stakes episodes he was on. It was commonly known that he was a big target for the cash game hustlers back then.

She was actually behind the entire hand, and he didn't have air, he had an open ended straight flush draw. The controversy starts with the fact that her play is very bad. Best case scenario she was facing a coinflip (which was the scenario they were in), worst case scenario she is losing the vast majority of the time. A bad play on its own is not necessarily controversial, but her explanation after the hand definitely made it controversial. She said she called because she thought he had Ace high, but she isn't beating Ace high, so that explanation makes zero sense. There is no evidence of her cheating, so I don't think it's okay to claim that she cheated. However, she definitely lied about how she played the hand, which fueled the controversy. I think there is a real chance she misread her hand and was embarrassed to admit it.

Robbi misread the hand, she thought she had J3 and was bluff catching with bottom pair. You can see her expression when she looks down at her cards once turning them over, but she was too embarrassed about it so tried to play it off as deliberate. It's just so obvious, and when you add that it's the only hand anyone has ever been suspicious about her playing and it being such a bad spot to call if you knew the cards, the situation should have never blown up.

Gold is one of the most unworthy winners of the World Championship. The fact that he cried and begged Farha to not bet his AAs all in when Gold had a losing pair of KKs should just tell you a lot about the guy. But before that, this bullshit of him backing out of an agreement to pay his share of the payout. Chan didn't need to coach him. Gold got the cards. No talent when you keep hitting. And i dont know about you guys, but i dont like the talking during a hand. So, Gold, Kassouf, and Martin Kobrehl are not good for the game.
