Garrett Adelstein Doubles Down! (Part 2 UPDATE) 

I think one of the most compelling things that I heard that leads me to believe she cheated is right after the hand her and Garrett are arguing and she says "I put you on ace high" and Garrett responds with "why call with jack high then" and Robbi literally has no response, starts stuttering and the says "because you didn't have shit" I truly believe he was cheated

My favorite part of the whole hand is just her saying "I called because I thought you had Ace high" almost immediately after it happen 😂

I think Garrett calling her out and saying she cheated actually helped him in finding out that Nick Vertucci and others were envious of him and were acting as fake friends

let's face it.. right before her call in some way she was tipped off to call him, and then completely froze in the aftermath as evidenced by her ridiculous remarks about putting him on ace high or misreading her hand, not to mention the laundry list of crazy stuff that followed. nobody will ever convince me otherwise

The amount of circumstantial evidence is overwhelming that cheating happened. We lost Garrett and got the obnoxious Airball. Poker lost.

During Robbi's interview after the hand, she says that she gave the money back to Garrett because "in my mind I think I'm good enough to win the 135k back" and that if Garrett agreed to come back to the table and play, she would have the opportunity to win back the money "'fair and square". That is an admittance of guilt!

Watching garret play poker is really incredible. The guys intuition is unlike anything I’ve ever seen at a poker table and it’s not even close. He makes so few mistakes in every hand and when he does get bluffed off a big hand, he almost always finds a way to stack the opponent later. I really hope he comes back to any stream. It’s like watching MJ retire early.

Honestly, if you played poker for awhile, you KNOW her play was not legit - not to mention what she said during the stream and how much was on the line. At the same time, if HCL conducted a impartial investigation and couldn't find a clear evidence, then I also understand their stance. Though, whichever idiot decided to give her an award to fuel the fire should probably be fired.

The way the hand played out alone had me leaning about 60/40 in favor of her having cheated. All of the other coincidental events ranging from Brian(HCL employee) moving his seat for a better view of the hole cam, to him stealing $15k from her stack, to her not wanting to press charges all shift that percentage even further to 85/15 in favor of her having cheated.

Just don't understand how people rationalize that sequence of events that night without assuming cheating. She calls with J high on the turn and is right, gives the money back to Garrett, flip flops in her explanation of the call, has 15k stolen from her by one of the few people at the casino with access to inside info (who she later tries to pretend to not know prior to the hand despite clear social media evidence they knew each other... not to mention his weird statement of apology to her that's all sorts of suspicious), it's disclosed she has a previously unknown backing agreement/affair with Rip, etc... Occam's Razor - the simplest explanation is the most likely, and that explanation is she had some sort of advantaged info on that hand.

Everyone acts like she had to know exactly what his hand was to cheat. That's not the case. I believe she just got a signal that says that she's good or not good in a situation. Probably from the guy who ended up taking $15k off her stack later who was able to look at the cards in the control room. It was that guy's job to tip her off, and we know from the investigation that he was desperate for money. There's only so many really big hands in a session and he needed to get paid. He probably isn't getting any money if he didn't tip her off in a big hand and he didn't know if another big hand was going to be available in the session so he went with this one. We don't know if he could even see percentages. He probably just looked at the hands and saw that a Jack is higher than an Eight and he needs to get paid so gave her the signal that she's good. Remember: he has to make the decision on a moments notice and it's not like he had an hour to consider the options or something. Also, he's trying to see the hands and then give the signal that she's good or not while he has to make sure others in the control room don't realize what he's doing so there's added pressure to go with this hand because he might not be able to see the next big hand later if there even is one.

She is so scummy, I can't believe so many people rallied around her and supported her or even put her on a pedestal

The fact that she acts like she owned him with a magnificent call is total Bs. Garrett has always upheld himself with the utmost respect when it comes to the games. The fact that he stands his ground makes me respect him more. Right or wrong

garrett has always conducted himself with the highest level of integrity and honour. The way Hustler treated him like a pos after was disgusting. F HCL

Have not ever thought for a second that she didn't cheat.

It’s obvious who has the character and who doesn’t. Garrett, don’t give up.

The 15 k missing out of her stack is the nail in the coffin , where tf is that guy

what I find hilarious and no one ever mentions is the stream where the J4 hand took place, Ryusuke was playing who eventually got found out as an actual cheater and scammer lmao

When i saw the thumbnail i immediate thought NOT AGAIN but it worked, i clicked & ended up watching till the end, v well put together, great graphics & overall production 👏

Hopefully you are doing well Alex. Good to see you make some content.

Robbi has never made a play like that since. Calling down like that with j high. Still waiting for you to do that again robbi. Ain’t gonna happen tho. Wonder why.

The fact the productiom dude who had real time data of hands took 15k out of her chips that day is thr smoking gun imo

The garret meme at the end nearly made me spit out my water LMFAO

Well done man. Great video. I just thought there would be some new news in it.

Objective words incoming: every somewhat reasonable poker player, or even human being, with a functioning brain will understand that there is no way that the way she played the hand was legit. At the same time you can't be that dumb or unskilled to play the hand as played. There's is just no way especially considering that she's blocking a large quantity of hands by holding the Jc. It's beyond to me that people can legit be on her side.

Without Garrett, hustler is not the same anymore

With Garrets experience, he has every right to call out something he finds to be unusual. We already know he's not someone that throws around false claims. We already know he's a pro who has seen hundreds of thousands of hands in his lifetime. It's just respectful to hear him out and be grateful that we got some insight regarding what may be considered odd in a live game.

It’s so gross how a lot of people have responded to this. And it’s almost like you need to literally catch someone in the act and not only that, you have to catch them in the act and it has to be completely unambiguous. Otherwise it seems nearly impossible to 100% prove someone cheated. Also, all you have to do is see how she has played on stream since that hand. Before that hand she was making all sorts of insane plays. Now she plays like an average super tight 1/2 player. Unfortunately that doesn’t necessarily “prove” she cheated, but it’s at least circumstantial evidence. But even with the Mike Postle situation where everyone knows he cheated… there still was never 100% proof and I don’t think he even ever had to pay anyone back or anything from what I remember. And he cheated A LOT, and they still weren’t able to 100% prove it. So I doubt you’ll be able to prove Robbi cheated. Even if you have someone come forward, Robbi can just keep denying it and say whoever comes forward is lying. In my personal opinion, I don’t see how it’s possible that she DIDN’T cheat. Seriously, she’s one of the tightest players I’ve ever seen play the game. She NEVER just “goes off intuition”, especially not at the stakes she was playing, she doesn’t even do that at the much lower stakes she plays now. And most non poker people don’t understand how not even the best players in the world would ever make that call with her hand. EVEN IF THEY SAW HIS HAND, they probably still would’ve folded because he had SO much equity and all she had was Jack high. She had to fade the world. And he could’ve easily been bluffing with the best hand. But anyway, no point in getting back into the hand. There’s no way she didn’t cheat in that hand (and most likely much more than that). There’s not much you can say is 100% certain, but I’m 99.99% certain she cheated. And she wins a fkn award for it. Gotta love that pretty woman privilege, smh

Cheating is bad , cheating badly is idiocy

The story was Rip gave her a signal to call with his money…they was not vi ration and she in no way made that call…he stack was Rips, and Rip knew Garrett could be running a low end straight and told her not to worry about the call…she is a cheater and so is rip in my opinion…

No doubt in my mind that she cheated, she could argue she misread her cards, but on the stream it was clear she checked her cards before calling the allin. That was just a impossible call if not cheating.

Gonna level with you guys, if it was a man doing this there's zero chance that the poker community would think that he was not cheating. But because people who play poker have a tendency to believe that women are worse at poker than men, many people, when they see a woman making that play, have a first instinct of "Ah, woman moment" as opposed to "Well obviously there's something up".

Love the way the Casino covered it up.

Poker tournaments could adopt a security measure used in some high level chess tournaments. They create an information bubble around the playing venue and apply a small delay to the not-quite-live signal being broadcast to the internet.

The for crediting my interview, most people don’t lol

Robbie’s lips grow when she lies 👄

Within the last 8 years, I realized "theres no fucking way I should have been playing hi limit ring games online" Tournaments- yes... but the ease of being cheated is insane, You could be in a game with 5 guys all on telephone with each other.

I missed it. Where is the double down new info/update? Robbie’s book and doc? Title is misleading.

I do appreciate Garrett poker skill and enjoyed watching him

We watch streams to watch the elites play at high levels and high stakes. Watching rich unskilled players punt money is a long term losing game plan

To clear her name she for real says "I gave him back the money, so that clearly means I didn't cheat, if I was cheating I wouldn't give him back the money" When your excuses don't even makes sense, it makes you look way guilty.

poker players are of high intelligence and analytical powers. Anyone that even slightly is familiar to the game, to pretent that he is not almost 100% sure that robbie cheeted, is highly hypocritical, and most importantly shows the level of fear these players have towards the casino patrons, and sadly, the lack of integrity.

Most people that are able to think for themselves, and that arent invested with live streaming would say with nearly 100% certainty that cheating took place. The hand was obvious, but then you have her over dramatic business partner at the table, and dont forget the security cameraman who went and took his 10% cut from off her chip stack. All of that, combined with the hand, and statements, and clear lies, all add up to a guilty verdict.

For years Garrett has never got into any huge drama and has conducted himself politely and with every ounce of sportsmanship one could ask even against some of the most triggering pos poker players. That's why this stuff got the eyes of pretty much everyone that likes poker. I hope he comes back to the streams, I learned a lot with him and a bunch of youtube channels that made content breaking down his thought process in the most entertaining hands. He played with a suit and tie and got treated like the crazy man on the corner saying the world will end. I think she cheated and that's the only relevance she brought to the poker scene, her name on a f'king shitty hand.

If Nick Vertucci, a noted scammer, turns out to be involved in a scam with the HCL stream, it’d be the least surprising thing to occur in poker.

The casino did an “internal investigation” so they could cover themselves of any legal issues, and swept it under the rug. The employee was in on it with her. He wanted his 15k cut

Even without all the shenanigan's around that game - just simply the call, and what she said before and after the showdown. 100% cheat. They should have picked a better player to be their operative. BTW, the temptation for the back-room team to cheat must be enormous.

HCL probably found evidence of cheating but decided it wasn't in their best interest to disclose security failures in their livestream. I'm sure many past players would be in line filing lawsuits claiming they were cheated in the past on livestreams.

Struggling to find the update here ..... did you mean re-upload?

Whether she was cheating or not, in one hand Sheldon destroyed his reputation. Goes from one of the greatest cash game players in the country to fucking whiner. I truly believe he wasn't aware of how many players looked up to him, and how terrible this looks. IDGAF whether this guy ever sits down again.

I personally just want G.A to come back He was great for the game

he was cheated straight up and the people denying it are just lying

how the owner sayin there is a chance someone could cheat on the stream. if the chances aren’t 0 than she 100% cheated.

TLDR : Garrett said happy anniversary Otherwise it’s a recap, not an update

The overall value in that J4 hand for Robbie is insane 😂

I have worked in high-end security and often when someone is caught their first reaction is to give back, or try to give back, what they stole. Her immediate reaction makes me wonder. HOW she was cheating, if she was cheating, is just speculation from me. I suspect signaling with the remote control cameras is a good bet. Add to that her statement "I put you on ace high," and a clearer picture develops. Who would call with J high when convinced you are facing A high. As for her taking a "lie detector" test, I have had many and lied on all of them and always kept my clearance.

Garrett is such a baby she outplayed you dont need to cry about it for over a year

What's the update??? I'm missng it.

It’s so crazy how SHE allegedly cheated and Garrett, the guy who got cheated was the one blackballed from poker. Think about how insane that is

The cheat team should've chosen a better player than her 😂. She is really dumb to play with J4 spot; besides, she thought that the call would be considered one of the best haha. But the call screwed up the whole team 😂😂😂

She has had a lot of time to get her story dialed in, now, she can write a book about it. It's like billionaires telling you how they got rich. Those stories are always a little more embellished and fantastical than reality.

Garrett is so good people were scared to play with him so they limited their buy-in lol

They gave her an award for being stupid? for calling with Jack/4

For those below mistakenly saying that she needed to know the runout. You must go and review the hand . Garrett raises to 3k with 8-7c . Robbie looks down at Jc 4h and rather than FOLD mysteriously CALLS, now if she thought he was WEAK and just CAME OVER THE TOP no one would think of cheating BUT SHE DOESN’T SHE JUST CALLS. The flop 10h 10c 9 c GIVES GARRETT AN OPEN ENDED STRAIGHT FLUSH DRAW one of if not the biggest draws in poker and giving him 70% to win hand against her 30% even though technically she’s ahead. Garret down bets to 2500. WHY THE F WOULD SHE CALL WITH J4OFF??? A TEN is definitely in his range right? As well as any two clubs since he’s the original raiser right? The turn brings a 3h which to Garrett looks like the GREENEST LIGHT EVER so he barrels for 10k into an 11.7 k pot and ROBBI RAISES to 20k. Now the RAISE isn’t bad since it could easily be seen as a bluff into perceived weakness. THEN GARRETT SHOVES ALL IN. If she thought he was weak and she raised to exploit SHE HAS NOW BEEN CAUGHT WITH HER HAND IN THE COOKIE JAR and can do NOTHING OTHER THAN FOLD since the ONLY WAY to win is to KNOW that J-4, despite all probabilities to the contrary IS STILL AHEAD.You will note that GARRETT even after the nothing burger 3h IS STILL 53% to her high card J 47%. She puts out a time chip to the incredulity of even the announcer. SHE’S BUYING TIME TO FIND OUT IF SHE’S STILL AHEAD, imo. She asks “Three’s no good”? Making some think she misread her hand. BUT WHY ON EARTH WOULD YOU THINK A 3 WOULD BE GOOD given how HE has done NOTHING BUT BARREL????? AND THEN SHE CALLS they run it twice, blanks both times but when Garrett SEES her hand HE KNOWS and you do to if you’re being honest, SOMETHING WAS FKING TWISTED.

I don’t trust Robbie at all, and she’s making a documentary and writing a book…. It’s just so weird.

Lets just dig through the facts really quickly after the hand. After asking to explain her call she said 'thought you had Ace high' when she called with jack high. Then she offered to pay Garrett the 135k immediately outside if he would keep quiet go back in and play the rest of the game. If these aren't the actions of someone who just got caught cheating and is now attempting to lie and brush it under the rug, then I don't know what is. Absolutely outrageous that people are still taking Robbi's story. Just shows that as long as you got a great pair of tits you can lie, cheat, and steal your way through anything.

If you really feel like you were cheated on hustler why would you even consider playing in the million dollar game?

Stop saying she called with J high, she called only betting 8 high. Second, if you mention the lie detector you need to mention she traveled to a strip mall in Vegas to take it because obviously her lawyer husband couldn't find a lie detector in LA. And lastly she didn't cheat, THEY cheated...it was a team.

Is it impossible to put a vibrating devise inside your person & bet, call, raise, or fold depending on the vibrating signal on a live game?

Giving back the money and the employee taking money from her stack and the stupidity of her saying I though you had Ace high make it super sus. Garrett is a top tier player, his people reading skills alone from thousands of hours gave him a gut feeling he was cheated and I would assume he is correct even though it is hard to prove.

She’s so confident because there’s no real proof that she cheated. As Garrett said, imagine if she was smarter.

GMan is 💯. The setup for cheating objective was to do it in the big million dollar game . Before the infamous Robbie hand the previous games that had players like beans AKA the Kansas city scammer and others data mining the UIDs on the cards for the stream . HCL is suppose to destroy the cards after every show . Someone figured out they don't throw the cards away and the same UIDs get rotated in the streams and the data miners would eventually know all the cards . Would you like to no more ?

I can't believe how many idiots believe this is cheating. It seriously blows my mind. It was a coin flip on the turn lmao She didnt cheat. All this highhorse poker players saying nobody plays like that, is so cringe. People for sure play like that. Go to any home game, any low stakes game online. It happens. Makes more sense too, whne you guys even thdn admit shes a terrible player, new to the game. like come on. You guys, along with the pro's, make no logical sense, when again, IT WAS A COIN FLIP on the turn.

Where is he playing now?

Ridiculous. Garrett is an idiot. Why go all-in on the draw. He got caught. And then has the audacity to threatened to murder her if she didn’t return the money!?? Absolutely ridiculous.

I’m not some Garrett fanboy I believe he is a gent and he has won so much because he is a great player but his personality and attitude has got him into the biggest games, the fact is she could have taken him to court and easily got the money back if she was innocent , I truly believe it was one of the first times she cheated at this level or ever and it is why she made it so obvious, I think she was pushed into it and will stand by her story because of the consequences, possibly by dangerous people, there is a lot of money in these games, to assume crime syndicates are involved and threatening people is not far fetched.

She likely cheated. Kind of scary that there are probably better cheaters than her getting away with it now.

What happened to the guy who had access to the hold cards? They ever find him?

The problem with all of these allegations is that there is no real evidence of cheating. The other big factor to consider is that it was only one hand. You have to take into consideration that she just made a silly call especially since she really is a NOOB poker player. She even agreed to run it twice which makes no sense if she was really cheating.

This is what can happen when your cards have RFID chips in them.

Poker players really are the saddest bunch of freaks out there

i think id be more convinced by your arguments if it wasnt edited in such a way that shows you are clearly biased. probably also why your channel has 12k subs but regularly gets 100k+ views. drama / hate watchers are a STRONG audience. good luck...

Garrett is the most hated player now. Zero evidence.

one very strong argument that she wasn't cheating is the value of Garrett's hole cards in the hand. He had 2 live cards and and open ended straight and flush draw making him a 53% favourite. If she knew his hand why would she call knowing she was on underdog?

This wasn't as much an update as it was a recap. More of an ironic video about how people keep talking about, talking about it? Now I'm confused lol Ryan, Robbie, Garrett, Nick, let's not forget why they are doing any of this work. Money. They are all motivated by money, have been very successful in this pursuit, and are in an environment where there is a LOT more to be made. I would be more shocked to find out there was nothing fishy at all.

I use to teeter with it but Gman is 1000% right. He WAS cheated. Not only do I agree with the top comment but: No human ever in the history of the world would EVER give the $$ back. Man or woman. EVER! She would of said haha yeah right I outplayed you. She immediately knew she was caught. Guilty. Edit: also the only reason i watched the show was cuz of gman. I rarely watch anymore. Also gman has been doing this for decades. He has seen A LOT. For him to spot himself getting cheated on the spot like that is next level. It takes balls to do that. But that’s wat makes him the best.

She was cheating as she stalled on the call so much because she knew she had shit and the fact that the other accomplice in on it was telling her to call, she was confused that maybe it was a wrong signal or a mistake. It’s one thing if she had like bottom pair on that call, but she literally had shit and had no business being in the hand to begin with

Dude, the girl beat you. Get over it already. She had the better hand.

I really missed watching Garrett play nightly real shit💯

Don't need to really wonder about what actually happened: Garrett got cheated, HCL threw him under the bus to protect their business, case closed. People defending Robbi is a great sign for poker in general, since not being able to recognize such an obvious cheat ensures that games will always be filled with fish.

Had Garrett won the hand, Robbie’s call would’ve been considered a “brain fart”. But since he bricked the river , it’s considered cheating. Can’t have it both ways.

Of course she cheated.

If Robbi cheated then she is the most brilliant casino game cheater in the history of the world... She used technology and some kind of communication that so far, no one on the planet has figured out. Not a single investigation has found even a scent of physical evidence against her. What is even more crazy is that she did all of this while live on camera. This footage has been painstakingly investigated and still nothing. Robbi must be the smartest and most sophisticated cheater in history! Amazing! Or............. She didn't cheat! What one of these scenarios do you think is more likely? From my research and impression of her personality, I am going to guess that she is not exactly on the top of the IQ pyramid. In no way does she comes across as a genius that could come up with such a sophisticated and complex scam to cheat Garrett out of money on this pot (Very strange pot to choose to use this brilliant cheating scam on). What is even more crazy is that Robbi, the worlds greatest casino cheat, used this diabolical plan on only this hand and has never used her world class cheating skills again. After a thorough investigation of hours and hours of video footage from Robbi playing poker there has not been another hand she played that was questioned by anyone. She choose this hand and this hand only?

Garrett needs to get over it already - what a cry baby.

She cheated...why was she mouthing her hands to her "friend" Rip during the same stream? Top it off, the guy who could see their cards "stole" 15K from only Robbi after the game???

Garrett was the only reason i watched HCL. I don’t watch HCL livestreams anymore because it’s basically Hustler China Live now. There’s so little English spoken at the table on many of the games. I hope Garrett goes back to live-streaming at other venues in LA or otherwise.

I’d give her the benefit of the doubt if she didn’t act the way she did during and after the hand. Her body language, her explanations, everything was just ODD. Extremely outlandish.

Of course poker streams and card rooms want Robbi’ She is a bad player. Whilst GMan crushes souls’ It’s a no brainer, even if she’s cheating she can’t win’

I've been around poker for a long time. I don't think she cheated. This incident was under a microscope of the entire poker world which includes a hell of a lot of very smart people not only from poker, but from virtually every profession. I've played poker with Lawyers, Doctors, Detectives, Judges, etc. Not one person could come to a proven conclusion. Then, she would have had to have help from multiple people. Not one person involved in this has slipped up at any point. Not to mention, this lady is obviously not the sharpest tool in the shed. And the guy at the table with her Rip or whatever his name was is obviously no genius either. I still think she thought she had J3 and for some reason couldn't process it. Then when she was confronted, she got flustered. This may have been why she claimed she thought he had A high. Im sure she didn't want to feel stupid and admit she misread her hand. She got intimidated by the shows biggest star and talked into giving the money back. Think about Mike Postle. An even more bizarre situation imo. Anyone who knows poker knows he cheated 100000%. You can say he wasn't caught, but all the evidence is literally there on video. The most insane thing about that situation is that he sat there for a year with a phone between his legs under the table watching the live stream, crushing games like he was Jesus, having the whole thing filmed and streamed so it could be watched after, and nobody who played with him noticed a thing. This is the most insane thing to me. If I was playing at his table, I would have suspicions by the 2nd session wondering WTF this guy is staring at under the table everytime hes in a big decision. The funniest part is he was also no genius, and decided he was going to never make wrong decisions. He was going to hero fold full houses so he can look like god, and 5 bet someones 4 bet with air when they have committed almost their entire stack in a situation where they have to call 90% of the time but of course he can see the cards so he knows they cannot call. If he was smart at all, he would probably still be printing money on Stones Live today. You could say I may be contradicting myself in correlation to the two paragraphs above and you may be partially right. However, If you are a veteran to poker you can only come to one conclusion. Postle 100% cheated and all the evidence is there to watch on film. Robbi? Just some lady calling it off in one hand J high against a massive combo draw in the most scrutinized hand that's ever been played in poker history. Bizarre af? 100% Evidence? 0.

waaaaaaaaaaaa my name is garrett and I am a baby because I had to be cheated, no one can beat me, even when I have nothing, reality IF she cheated, she would NOT want 2 runs, 1 and done and pray he did not catch, he is a BIG CRY BABY and knows, he should grow up but he wont, give her back the money, you are wrong and know it, but babies EGO wont do it and say sorry
