A glamorous poker player and her coach have insisted she did not use a vibrating ring to cheat during a Las Vegas poker tournament – and blamed her bizarre behavior on her ‘sexist’ rival.
Robbi Jade Lew and trainer Faraz Jaka last night shot down accusations she used the device to beat Garrett Adelstein out of $269,000.
The 35-year-old former pharmaceutical worker said ‘nailed it’ as she retweeted a post from fellow player Matt Glantz saying ‘she feels men are always trying to run her over’.
Meanwhile Jaka shared a lengthy Twitter thread arguing cheating would have been ‘very out of character’ for her and claimed she did not understand her hand.
Lew stunned the poker world on Thursday at the Hustler Casino Live game from Las Vegas as she went all-in with a Jack high and won the $269,000 pot.
Her flabbergasted rival Adelstein, a top player in livestreamed no-limit hold ’em, openly accused her of cheating by using a ‘device hidden that simply vibrates to indicate you have the best hand’.
