In a special edition of the PokerNews Podcast, Chad Holloway sits down with Robbi Jade Lew, who has been accused by Garrett Adelstein of cheating in a highly-publicized hand from the Hustler Casino Live (HCL) live stream.

Lew shares her side of the story and addresses lingering questions such as why she wavered on whether she thought she had jack-three or jack-four, why she gave the money back, what made her chair vibrate, and where things stand now.

She also talks about what she thinks will happen and a potential heads-up match against Adelstein. It's one of the biggest poker stories of the year, and here's your chance to hear directly from Lew.
