It’s been over two months now since Hustler Casino Live (HCL) witnessed one of the biggest scandals in the poker world. We are talking about the infamous Robbi Lew-Garrett Adelstein cheating scandal.
It all started after Lew beat Adelstein with a J4o during a high-stakes poker event. Adelstein, who was in sheer disbelief accused Lew of cheating with some device that showed her his cards. A lot of accusations and justifications from both the parties surfaced on social media. The drama had all the who’s who of the poker world on their toes awaiting the truth. Several top names from the poker fraternity also stepped in to express their views on the matter.
Eventually, the matter escalated to a level where Lew submitted her phone records to the Los Angeles Times for verification to prove she had zero communication with Bryan Sagbigsal, the former Hustler Casino Live employee who stole $15,000 worth of chips from Lew’s stack. She also underwent a lie detector test to prove her innocence.
Now, finally after months, the casino publicly announced that the investigation has concluded, and that they have found no evidence of cheating. They shared the findings on their Twitter handle on 14th December 2022.
We have completed a detailed investigation into the Sept. 29 hand involving Robbi Lew and Garrett Adelstein.

Amid all the drama, Adelstein had announced on Twitter that after being cheated, his professional life as a poker player would be forever altered. He also said that he was not sure when he would choose to play poker again.
The moment I was very likely cheated in the J4 hand, my professional life was always going to be forever altered. I’ll live w/ some peace at least knowing the $135K will be in the hands of a great cause. I don’t know when I’ll choose to play poker again.https://t.co/XRoqKlch26
