Garrett Adelstein Ready to Blow Doors Open on Cheating Allegations | PokerNews Podcast #1,004

from PokerNews Podcast

In the 1,004th episode of the PokerNews Podcast, which is sponsored by WPT Global, Chad Holloway and Mike Holtz welcome Garrett Adelstein to the show to talk about his upcoming poker book, Beneath the Cards, which will release on September 1. The new poker memoir discusses Garrett's life as a whole, which of course includes the highly controversial and divisive Jack-Four cheating allegations from the Hustler Casino Live (HCL) stream involving Robbi Jade Lew. Garrett opens up about the situation, including the immediate aftermath, how it has impacted his life, and how he feels about it all now. Plus, what may happen when the book drops and reopens that can of worms. According to Garrett, he has some previously unreleased circumstantial evidence that may change a few people's minds. This show is the perfect way to set the stage before the explosive new book hits the shelves, so don't miss your opportunity to hear from the man himself. Oh, and you can preorder your copy of the book on Amazon here. A new PokerNews Podcast drops every Thursday at 8a PT / 11a ET / 4p UK time.
