2023 was not the year of poker cheating scandals that 2022 proved to be with multiple high-stakes pros being accused of cheating and the infamous Garrett-Robbi hand on Hustler Casino Live. However, the year ended with a scandal involving private games, marked cards and millions of dollars.

Earlier this month, HCL regulars Nikhil “Nik Airball” Arcot and Wesley Fei accused Tony Mars (who has also appeared on HCL) of cheating a Southern California private game out of millions, allegations that Mars later denied.

Nikhil “Nik Airball” Arcot has been on a huge downswing that included losing over $1 million to Matt Berkey around the time this hand was played on the Hustler Casino Live stream earlier this year.

This crazy high-stakes poker hand took place in a game at HCL where the blinds were a huge $100/$200/$400. The game became uncapped and Wesley was sitting with a crazy $2,200,000 in front of him, which was bound to cause a huge pot sooner or later.
