Attempted Cheater Caught on Tape

These shots were taken on Day 2, and they show the player sitting to Pat Poels\’ left trying to sneak a peak at his hole cards. I told Pat about this, btw, and like Tommy Grand or Joey Greco, I showed him the surveillance footage of the disappointing truth.

\”It\’s better that you know,\” I told him.

But Pat reassured me that it\’s OK, his opponent didn\’t see anything, because \”I\’m very good at looking at my cards,\” he said with a straight face as if he were being totally serious about a practiced skill. \”Just ask Robert, he\’s told me before when trying to sweat me he can\’t see my cards.\”

Pat is currently on break in Day 4 of the main event — 450k in chips with 350 players remaining, one of whom is not the guy at right.
