Adelstein released a statement via Twitter discussing the situation. He acknowledged that poker is a difficult and complicated game, still, he went on to explain in detail why Lew’s move was controversial. According to him, the “scariest/easiest” way to cheat during a live stream is by using a device that vibrates when the player has the best hand. Adelstein claimed that once he went all in, there was no way for Lew to call on that move unless she was using such a device.
“I’m sure that plan was to minraise the turn and win the hand on the river when I don’t improve. But that all changed when I read her for extremely weak on the turn and made an unorthodox play by raising all in. At that point, she would know she still has the best hand if she had such a hidden device,“
