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.
James Casement raised to 200,000 and Jim Collopy three-bet the pot out of the small blind. The action folded to Casement and he reluctantly folded.
One hand later, Dante Goya limped the small blind and Casement checked to the Q♣Q♠5♠ flop. Goya bet the minimum and took it down.
Bryce Yockey then raised to 300,000 in the small blind and Collopy gave it some thought before forfeiting the big blind and big blind ante.
Collopy is the only finalist with an additional sweat. A victory would come with a $100,000 bonus from GGPoker.

James Casement raised the pot and claimed the blinds and ante.
Jim Collopy then potted the button into Casement's big blind, who opted to defend.

James Casement: Q♦8♠7♠6♣
Jim Collopy: Q♣Q♠5♠3♦
