This week, some players from Hustler Casino Live came forward with some devastating accusations. Nik Airball and Wesley Fei have accused Tony Mars (aka Ye Shen) of using marked cards to cheat in private poker games for millions of dollars. They have provided evidence of a rigged deck, accounting of the poker sessions, and claim that a known “mechanic” was dealing.
Once again cheating accusations Rock the world of Hustler Casino live but this time we’re not talking about everyone’s favorite hero call nor are we talking about influencers on Instagram looking for loans also today’s story is not going to be about Japanese guys that came into the huster casino scene made a
Big splash and disappeared with millions of dollars in debt we’re also not going to be talking about fake Al okay guys there was a lot of stories but let’s focus on this one for today the high stakes poker player known as Mars from Hustler Casino Live has been accused by
Nick airball and Wesley of using cheating techniques in private home games with millions of dollars at stake but what exactly happened in this private game in Los Angeles today we take a closer Look to fully understand this story we need to understand the timeline just a couple of days days ago Nick airball tweeted out saying just found out that someone who I thought was a close friend of mine cheated me out of $1 million in a series of poker games very hurt and
Upset for obvious reasons more details soon when I first saw this tweet I thought something here is not quite right and then I realized Matt berky and Nick airball aren’t friends but that was a different 1 million just a couple hours later Nick went on to tweet
Whatever I have no patience or tolerance it was yeen AKA Tony aka Mars his Twitter is @ Mars back to Earth all details and whatnot will be released soon in a more digestible format well gol G I wonder who they’re going to choose for that short version is he
Brought a mechanic dealer and special cards that are see-through with special contacts tremendous allegations here from Nick airball but before we dive into those we have to ask the question who exactly is Mars according to Poker tracker.com version 4 is available for update wait no tracking according to
Tracking poker.com Mars is up over $523,000 playing poker on just Hustler Casino live alone that means over just about 2 years of playing on the show Mars is the 15th biggest winner which sounds pretty nice right now but I am top 10 losers show him [ __ ] wow [ __ ] outside of his
Appearances a Hustle Casino Live not all that much is known about Mars other than the fact he does play in a lot of high stakes private games recently in an interview with poker news Wesley Fay known from Hustler Casino live as well and also from some recent fake
Allegations of a cheating scandal that I didn’t break down because frankly it was complicated I didn’t know what was going on but it seems like the cliff notes there were blank check Ben decided to put a hit piece on Wesley with a story that wasn’t true and it came out later
That it was a false allegation regardless Wesley revealed more details of the story in an article on poger news these are the main claims that Wesley made in that article Mars allegedly brought his own special deck to a private game in your Belinda California Mars could see through presumably with
The help of special contact lenses Mars then supposedly won approximately $3 million in the game over the course of about a year the games played are mostly 2550 and 5100 blinds between recreational players and a few known Hustler Casino Live RS such as Nick airball I will note that a deck was
Found to be marked in this game but we do not know how many games that deck was used in or what the dollar value is of all of the games that a deck was used in but it is safe to say that if you find a
Rigged deck in a game well chances are probably wasn’t the first game that it was used in unless you guys are really good at catching a hanger sge called a hanger sge but what a hanger at this point we have to introduce yet another character zo who is a private Game host
In California and I actually got to talk with zo a bit before making this video Wesley said he is confident that zo is not involved in the cheating and makes the following claims about the game the game runs about two to three times a week Mars offered to bring his own deck
And suggested others bring a dealer to the game Wesley’s down about a million in the game and Mars is up about 1.6 million himself Mars brought two players named Peter and Bruce who are also up in the game Mars Peter and Bruce are allegedly up $3.1 million in that game my thoughts
What the hell was going on in y Belinda I’ve never even heard of Y Belinda before but seems like it’s a nice area a lot of crime though in a statement from zo about the game he said I’ve been playing high stakes cash in LA the last few years I started hosting private
Games this year after World Series of Poker about 2 months ago Tony Shen asked me if I wanted to partner with him and I agreed on October 14th I was supposed to host a private game in Downtown LA with Mars Mars asked me if I want to bring my
Own dealer or my own deck to the game I told him I don’t really care he then told me he would get the dealers and bring the deck to the game around 6 p.m. Mars suggested hosting the game at Yorbalinda because there were a few Chinese players that wanted to play
There I arrived at Yorbalinda at the same time as Mars around 8:00 p.m. Shen and his girlfriend were there already she was practicing dealing with the dealer that we had because she was trying to learn how to deal seems legit after the game a few players felt
Something was weird about the hands they played so they kept the deck and did a quick check they found the cards were marked and you can see the card from the back with special glasses or contacts so they contacted Mars right away and Mars
Said he would talk to me about it I did not know any of this until two about 2 weeks ago Wesley told told me to meet him in your Belinda Mars told them I brought the deck and he would talk to me about it or have or have me talk to the
People in your Belinda but he never mentioned it to me in those two weeks after having a conversation with Wesley and the players who found the deck they began to suspect Mars after I showed them the text I have with Mars proving that I did not bring the deck so
Basically there was some arguing about who brought the deck it seems that everyone agrees the deck was marked but exactly who brought the deck to the game is what’s being debated so what proof do Nick airball and Wesley Fay have about the cheating Wesley claims the following
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 used a blue light and you can see the the numbers on the back of the deck Wesley also offered screenshots showing that Mars did in
Fact offer to bring his deck to the game I can bring some decks from your Belinda Wesley has shared the following videos showing that they are in possession of marked cards you can take a look at them here This four Diamond four you can see the suit from here five Diamond five a concern might be that we do not know that this deck was the one used in that game however in a statement posted by poker news from Mars he goes on to say that the deck was marked in that
Game one thing Wesley and Mars agree on is that the marked cards were spotted in a high-stake Southern California private game they both regularly played in but they were on different pages as to how the special deck ended up in the game it is very safe to say that this is the
Deck used in that game and in that game we have the results from certain players that played in it I’m going to blur players names that are not necessary for their privacy but I want to point out two people that ended up money because I think it’s relevant
Shen and Tony in the interest of total fairness there were a couple other players in the game who did win however given what we know doesn’t look great it’s also worth noting that there has been a lot of discussion about a mechanic dealer named Mike that played in these or that dealt
These games rather and apparently the story goes as follows there is someone named Vic who is a host at Commerce and then according to Wesley and zo apparently Mars said that Vicki referred in some dealers but the information shown was a fake Vicki and the dealers provided were
Mike and a couple other dealers as well and these dealers are apparently somewhat known for being mechanic dealers I can’t verify that that is true or not but that is what the allegation is against them with all this this evidence starting to pour out on social
Media Mars took to Poker news to respond and answer back against the allegations I’m writing the statement to set the record straight on some false accusations that have personally damaged my reputation Mars says I have won and lost huge amounts numerous times in my poker career but I have never cheated a
Game and I have always paid when I lost regarding the dealers these are baseless accusations moreover I’m not in charge of hiring any staff Mars continued as for why Wesley who was his friend would accuse him of cheating Mars P that saying Wesley is broke desperate and
Tries to not pay the money he owes me so we do have an outstanding debt in this scenario he’s trying to poison the mind of anyone that will listen Mars concluded with a statement all of these are confirmed facts not baseless accusations well we’re going to need to
See a little more confirmation on the fact front but at least Mars did go public with a response unfortunately for Mars other people have been coming forward to speak out players including including one of the Lodge’s all-time biggest winners keyboard monkey who tweeted retweeting because I played a
Game a few months back in Hampton where Mars back to Earth and other La Asians were randomly there and won all the money I lost a lot and one massive extremely strange hand to Mars himself we’ll never play a home game again to be honest and don’t trust a single person
From the poker World outside sanctioned casino games that’s right keboard monkey although the lodge Card Club is not a casino I’m with you card rooms it’s where it’s at isan or brown Bala on X also gave his opinion on the matter saying hey everyone so I’m going to
Weigh in on my perspective on the Mars Scandal so I didn’t play much at the Chinese home games but I did a couple of times but there was one time I lost 100K where in retrospect it’s extremely likely I was cheated it was a big straddle pot $800 was on where another
Player opened to 3K one call in the middle and I squeezed Kings to 14K on the button the so-called whale that Mars later stacked in a different hand made no sense cold called and then open folded flop Queen 82 he donked for 12K I Jam my remaining 35 and he calls 82 of
Hearts I was suspicious but since then the since the whale dusted his 200k stack to Mars later I just assumed he was a mega whale and didn’t know what he was doing at the time I didn’t consider that they could have been cheating together I’ve talked to other players
That know this so So-Cal whale sense and they told me he’s extremely tight Mars defended himself by denying the allegations and trying to defame Wes in return leaves an extremely bad taste in my mouth we all considered Mars our friend and this situation is very disheartening the [ __ ] Brown Ballo went
On to say this was the only time I played with that whale so I don’t have a huge sample size but as to your fake whale Point yes seems that way I mean in retrospect it makes perfect sense you have this guy that you say a super
Action and a whale and when he win suspicious hands you get get suspicious but then when he shoves 10 on a73 versus Mars and Mars calls Ace King it just looks like he’s a punter so shimi also responded when I was playing with him there was a contrib strle action I got
Kings other gu Aces and I lost 100K pot is that cheat or unlucky wasn’t against Mars who knows I reached out to Ryan Felman at huster casino live about if HCL wanted to have a comment to which he said they do not want to take an official comment on the situation
However based on the evidence provided to them they have decided to not allow Mars to play on the show for the time being or maybe forever I don’t know it’s unclear Some amount of time at this point I want to get into some interviews that I did I had a call with Wesley
Where he broke down different parts of the story let’s go ahead and jump into it what Mar did okay okay all right how much money do you think Mars cheated you out of so in I I have a cbook right so he and his group is up 3.1 million who’s his group
So there are two uh English English speaker I’m sure there are his group so Bruce and Peter and there is a dinner cut Mike and another dinner Andy but he don’t deal like very often and his girlfriend i s like seia told me there the broke up like after we found the
Magic de they to like after like one week she told us they they broke up and I don’t know but yeah see I I mean I’m a normal person so it’s a cheating game for the last eight months right so the player who is up a lot I’m assuming they’re cheating
Together besides she’s Mars’s girlfriend for like five years and another guy called uh is do you remember two years ago WSOP there is a guy called Aaron J yeah but he deny he he like he he was cheating with Mars but he’s up 2 70 something CI is up like
They both up around 300K oh so CA played in the game yeah look guys we’re going to have to have a tough conversation I’ve said this so many times I’ve been a broken record for years when you play in private games [ __ ] can go down all kinds of [ __ ]
People can cheat people can collude people can rake you to death people can raid the game cops can show up it can get busted there are so many things that can go wrong when you play in a private game setting now that’s not to say you
Should never play them if the stakes are reasonable or you you have uh real insight into the way the game is played or you’re running the game or you’re cheating it’s great to run a private game but just showing up where some other guy brings the deck I think you got to I
Think you got to be skeptical about that I I I feel like we don’t have to do this I feel like you guys know I feel like you know anyway that’s going to be it for me hope you enjoyed this video hit that subscribe button and I’ll see you guys again
Soon so many times how many times we going do this

I produce this kind of card. If you need it, see me.🤣
Why are people partnering isn’t that in itself cheating?
Commenting here cuz you bitches about the (more interesting than a single hand) scam videos, commitment to the bread and butter may or may not do ya well. Idk. Also the lodge is too far away from Austin, plz open something closer to the city. ✌️
Lesson learned don't trust or play with Chinese!
Wes's English has gotten better lol
Dude shut up and take your loses like a man
Wishy washy as fuck don’t play high stakes so called home games when you don’t have control on the cards or the dealer (mechanic) if you want to maintain your bank balance…….
I don’t know why you’d even play poker with a Chinese
You don't understand – for asian to take dollars from americans is not cheating.
High stakes and your let someone bring their own deck of cards ! Laughable.
Is a million dollar game and you only have one Decker cards and it's not even a bicycle deck? What the f*** y** come to my f**** $40 by and game and I got 10 unopened packs of f**** bicycles. What the h*** is going on with you idiots, thanks just cause you got a little bit of money. I got some brains what the fuck
Why do players need to bring their own deck in the first place?? The casino or whoever house should provide it and be vetted by all players first
😂😂😂
I used to play private games in New York. $20 to $100 buy in where someone else brings the deck. I'm pretty sure I was cheated too.
Hes been on Hustler live since the allegations. Aurball with more lies about his losing and life.
Casino Rake ain’t so bad now eh??
I don’t like that shirt Doug
Airball loses every way and everywhere he possibly can.
You play poker, you choose to lose to cheaters. That's your own choice. That's why I don't play stupid poker
straight out of God of Gamblers…
Eats corn the long way what does that mean
Kind of mind blowing that in a high stakes game the decks aren’t straight out of the wrapper , I would assume that every deck was opened on site in front of the players .. at least should be this way
