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

Sandra Barbour

Level 28 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 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.

Level 26 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Mark Burford raised to 200,000 on the button and Alex Keating shoved all in for about 1,800,000 in the small blind. Action came back to Burford who got a rough count and called.

Alex Keating: K♥J♥
Mark Burford: 9♥9♦

The two were off to the races as the 10♥10♠5♦ flop kept Burford ahead to the 3♣ turn. Keating needed a king or jack to survive, and although paint came on the river, it was the Q♣ to eliminate him in ninth place for $34,900.

Level 26 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

David Miscikowski jammed 165,000 and Alex Keating went all in for around 4,200,000 before Jeremy Izquierdo called for his last 2,405,000. The rest of the table was out of the way and action was three ways with Miscikowski and Izquierdo at risk.

David Miscikowski: J♦5♣
Jeremy Izquierdo: 7♥7♠
Alex Keating: A♣Q♠

The board ran out 2♠Q♦J♣7♣8♣ and Izquierdo turned a set of sevens to send Miscikowski to the rail while doubling through Keating.
