You have to be very bold to try to cheat at a poker table filled with seasoned pros engaged in a high-stakes cash game. That’s especially true when the game in question is being recorded and streamed on the internet, which drastically increases the chances you’ll be caught in the act if you try anything funny.

As a result, it was a bit hard to believe Robbi Jade Lew was guilty of the accusations she found herself facing a few months ago thanks to what went down at an event organized by Hustler Casino Live.

At the end of September, the poker world found itself with a major scandal on its hands courtesy of a heads-up situation involving Lew and Garrett Adelstein. During the showdown in question, Lew fleeced the latter out of $135,000 thanks to the borderline inexplicable way she played a hand she arguably had no business sticking with for as long as she did,

The manner in which she approached things raised plenty of red flags among a number of veteran players. The situation became even more complex after Adelstein revealed Lew had offered to pay him back the money he’d lost, which is something you don’t typically do when the pot is rightfully yours.

However, Lew maintained her innocence and seemed optimistic she’d be cleared in the investigation that was subsequently launched by High Stakes Poker Productions (the organization behind Hustler Casino Live).

On Tuesday, the company announced it had wrapped up that inquiry and shared the report it put together in conjunction with the cybersecurity experts and private detectives it hired to get to the bottom of the matter (a lengthy ordeal that cost the company over $100,000).

It took a while to come together, but Lew appears to be vindicated based on the published findings. The report debunked a number of theories concerning methods she could’ve theoretically employed to find out what cards Adelstein was holding, and after examining the evidence at hand and conducting interviews with over a dozen players, dealers, and other relevant employees, investigators say “no conclusive evidence of wrongdoing related to the Sept. 29 hand was found.”

It’s worth noting High Stakes Poker Productions co-owner Nick Vertucci qualified the findings by stating, “We cannot say with 100% certainty that no wrongdoing happened, just that we found no evidence of it.” With that said, it seems like we can finally put this incident behind us unless new information ends up coming to light.
