Nik Airball and Wesley accuse Ye Shen of $3 Million marked cards poker cheating

Nik Airball has broken open a huge $3,000,000 poker cheating scam by Ye Shen aka Mars on Hustler Casino Live or TonyMars on Twtter involving a special marked cards deck at a private game.

Airball’s cheating claims were backed up by another HCL reg, Wesley “Wes Side” Fei, who was also taken for $1million by Ye Shen aka Mars in the elaborate setup.

The cheating didn’t take place on the Hustler Casino Live show, but rather at a private game in Yorba Linda, California, after Ye Shen brought his own deck to the highstakes homegame.

However, according to Wesley, the deck was marked:

“After a game we found a cheating deck. The deck is a very good cheating deck that you can’t find. But we went to a very dark room and we used a blue light and then you can see the numbers on the back of the deck.”

Nik Airball tweeted the following:

The cheating took place over a number of months in the middle of this year and Ye Shen is said to have won about $1.6million from the game that typically played $25/$50 or $50/$100 blinds.

Wesley explained others were also involved in the cheating:

“… the player he brought — two guys — one guy called Peter and an Australian guy called Bruce and three others. So, his group is up $3.1 million.”

Wesley confronted Mars about the cheating two weeks ago after inviting him to his luxury $400k per night suite at Caesar’s Palace during the Las Vegas Grand Prix.

Ye Shen, however, refused to confess and quickly left but those in the know are certain of his guilt, Wesley sharing screenshots of Mars’ offer to bring the decks to one of the games.

The scam comes at a time when highstakes private games are receiving a bad name in general, with Matt Berkey weighing in on the debate.

Just this week, another HCL reg, Andy Stacks, was left fuming when he was stuck $600k during a livestream only to watch Airball and Santhosh Suvarna leave for a private game.

Meanwhile, Mars – seen in highstakes action st Hustler Casino Live – has yet to publicly comment on the accusations that he is behind the $3million poker cheating scam.
