Accused Private Poker Game Cheater: "I Didn't Bring Any Cards Anywhere"

Nível 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

One day after being accused of cheating a California home game out of millions, Tony Mars issued a statement to PokerNews denying the allegations.

Wesley Fei and Nikhil "Nik Airball" Arcot, both Hustler Casino Live regulars, claim that Mars, who also plays on HCL, brought a special UV-marked deck that allowed him to decipher face-down cards.

The alleged scandal occurred in a game at a private residence in Yorba Linda, California, a community in Orange County.

Ali Calls it Off on the River

Nível 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Action folded around to Rami Hammoud who raised to 1,400 from the cutoff. Yousri Ali was in the small blind and counted out a three-bet worth 6,500. Hammoud made the call and both players headed to a K♠9♣7♣ flop.

Action checked through to bring out the 6♠ turn card, on which action checked through once more.

Hammoud paused briefly and eyed down Ali's stack before maving all-in to put Ali to a decision with the smaller stack. Ali did have a brief moment of thought but was pretty quick to call and turn over the K♥K♦, easily beating the A♥Q♦ held by Hammoud and good for a full double.

Norland Gets Value from Zamani

Nível 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Martin Zamani raised to 1,000 from under the gun only to face a three-bet to 4,000 from Morten Norland in late position. Zamani made the call and the dealer spread the 4♥2♣3♠ flop.

Zamani checked over to Norland who continued with a bet of 2,500. Zamani wasn't yet done with the hand, though, as he quickly went into his stack and came back out with a check-raise totaling 7,000. Norland wasted little time in making the call to see the A♠ hit the turn.

Action checked through to the 4♦ river.

Zamani led out by tossing a single 500 denomination chip into the pot and said, "That's the bet" with a laugh, but when Norland came back over the top with a raise to 12,000, the situation wasn't as funny anymore.

Zamani put in the call only to quickly muck when Norland turned over the A♣K♠.
