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

Livello 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.

Livello 28 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Joseph Lebrun raised to 240,000 in the hijack and Stanislav Zegal three-bet to 800,000 in the cutoff. Action folded back to Lebrun who four-bet to 2,215,000 with only 325,000 behind.

Joseph Lebrun: A♦5♦
Stanislav Zegal: K♦J♦

The board ran out 7♥6♥4♠A♥Q♣ and Lebrun locked up the double on the turn.

"He snap put me in," Lebrun said as he was surprised to have been slightly ahead preflop. "I wasn't ready for that... I was like what the f---, I'm dead."
