A new poker cheating scandal has rocked the gambling world, and even the main stream media is picking up the story. Mike Postle, a former casino employee, has been accused by insider whistle blowers of cheating the Stones Live Poker game in Northern California out of upwards of $250,000, rarely playing above stakes of $5-$5 no-limit hold’em for the last couple of years.

Although charges have yet to be filed, the developing story was picked up by ESPN, who ran a segment with Scott Van Pelt on SportsCenter, explaining the allegations. Van Pelt, who admitted he was just a poker novice, ended his reporting with a question that has been on the minds of many poker players since rumors of cheating began to surface.

Although innocent until proven guilty, in the court of public opinion, at least on social media, there are very few players standing in Postle’s corner. Poker Hall of Famer and 2003 WSOP main event winner Chris Moneymaker initially came to his longtime friend’s defense, but after reviewing the evidence has changed his mind, saying, “I think he did it.”
