Reading about this for a week or two - the last article also had links to cheating in poker where a lady called the bet and won 250k but had nothing in her hand and the guy who tried to bluff her was heartbroken and then furious the more he thought about it

He bluffed

She called it

But had no right to with a jack high I think it was

The guy was sure she knew his cards
