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.

Alex Keating Eliminated in 9th Place ($34,900)

Livello 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.
