Pretty sad that in the age of streaming media, nobody could arrange Hellmuth's serious bid for a 17th bracelet to be televised in some way.
Total FAIL for poker broadcasting for this to occur on a regular table in the middle of the room.

If she didn't cheat, which is likely the case, then a woman has been put through hell and branded a cheater in a viral story which never should have been -- AND had $135k unfairly taken from her.

There is no second poker boom. The people saying this either weren't around in the mid-2000s, or have faded memories. The WSOP is huge due to excellent marketing and a near monopoly on prestige to the masses.

Garrett agreed on May 2nd that Phil Hellmuth was wrong for demanding $5,000 out of a recreational player at the table, after a controversial hand already completed.
Could this statement have possibly aged worse?
Agreed with everything Doug said in this great video. Unsurprising given everything I do at the poker table (and life) is essentially the opposite of Helmuth, who is wildly famous, successful, and well-connected so what the hell do I know. Different strokes for different folks.

Someone in poker, who I won't name, had 1000 BTC in 2012, and asked me at the Wynn what to do. "I respect your advice, Todd. What do you suggest?"

Terrible. Just give it back, dude. Yes, Robbi frequently lies and is trying to exploit the situation into social media fame.
However, there's no proof at all that she cheated. Either return the $135k or escrow it with the agreement to release it if no cheating found.
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.

Instead of donating this controversial $135k which wasn't rightfully yours, why didn't you escrow it, with the pledge to donate it to charity if she is proven a cheater and you get it back?
It seems the most important thing to you is that she never gets this $135k back.

Just went to Trop on its final night. Closing in 90 minutes. Gambled and won $1750. Was up more but chunked some off at the end.
Good enough.

Tear gas these domestic terrorists, arrest them all, sentence them to the maximum time allowed.
You cannot have civilized society when domestic terrorists are allowed to inhibit others’ freedom of movement without consequence.
