Remember the case where Phil Ivey won £7.8mln in casino in London, and they refused to pay out? Well, it obviously ended in court and casino is claiming Ivey used the flaw in the cards they had to cheat his way to the victory.

Source is obviously as trustworthy as s@*%@, but it looks like it's official lane that casino is using to defend themselves in court from not paying out.

Well if everything they allege is true about turning the cards then he did intentionally set up the deck so he knew where certain cards were and that is cheating. The video should clearly prove whether or not he was cheating.

The cards weren't marked, he allegedly marked them in a way.





Certain cards came out of the deck upside down so he could tell what they are. Of course it's more subtle with a diamond pattern.

Well this adds a bit more details to the story than the first reports of it. If that chinese gurl is truly banned from casinos in the US then there must be something going on here, right?

My favourite line is Bet/Fold. I bet, you fold.

Casino allowed it to happen- casino's mistake.

He never actually touched the cards though and the dealer's turning them was in full open view. I think you would have to be manipulating something subversively for it to be considered full on cheating.

resolved only be lawyery stuff, it's the casino's cards afterall even when he intentionally abused the fact that it can be read that way

For once a rake that the casino also has to pay!

But wait, aren't the cards shuffled or something before going back in the shoe? wouldn't that negate turning them upside down?
