POKER QUEEN ACCUSED OF USING VIBRATING RING TO RIG SIN CITY GAME
SEXY rookie poker queen Robbi Jade Lew is accused of cheating to win a $269,000 pot by getting secret signals from a vibrating ring.
A 35-year-old former drugcompany worker, Lew rocked California’s Hustler Casino Live in Redondo Beach when she raked in the pot with what experts call a weak Jack-high hand, beating veteran cardshark Garrett Adelstein on Sept. 29.
Incredibly, Lew has only been playing poker professionally for a year and later admitted she didn’t even fully understand her cards.
Her coach Faraz Jaker defended the card newbie, saying: “Having worked with her over the last year, cheating would be very out of character. Like any new player, she mixes up terminology.”
Poker pro Matt Glanz says Lew believes “sexism” is at play, saying: “She feels men are always trying to run her over.”
Later, she accused opponent Adelstein, 36 — who was also a loser on TV’s Survivor in 2013 — of threatening her in a
“dark hall.”
“Garrett blocked me,” she claims. “He cornered me and threatened me. If he has the audacity to give me the death stare ON camera, picture what it’s like OFF camera.”
Experts say Adelstein had a 53 percent chance of winning when he forced Lew to go all in with her $130,000 hand. He looked “disturbed” when her cards revealed her to have a “Jack high,” winning the entire $269,000 pot, noted a commentator.
Some believe Lew
used a device in a ring “that simply vibrates to indicate you have the best hand.”
Immediately after winning, sources say she began twiddling a ring with a large red setting on a middle finger, then moved her hand under the table and where they charge she removed the device.
“Why unnaturally slap your hand down on the table, nervously clear your throat, then take the red ring off of your right middle finger and put it elsewhere?” tweets one viewer, adding: “100% a signaling device, took one piece off when the heat was on you.”
