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.

Kayhan Mokri raised to 40,000 in the hijack and Nozomu Shimizu called in the cutoff.
Both players checked to the river on a board of J♠5♠10♦2♠3♣ when Mokri bet 65,000. Shimizu snap-called.
