âthird party investigationâ is the absolute correct way to put it, in air-quotes. The investigation was done by the organizers of the game, a party that if there was cheating must have been part of the cheating, so very much not a third party in the matter.

No offence but you donâ(TM)t seem to understand the situation at all. Her play is in no way just a matter of a novice player getting it in bad and sucking out. It was also not something that fits the definition of a âbad beatâ. She made a call that no poker player, pro or beginner, would ever make unless they either somehow knew for a fact they currently were ahead in the hand or temporarily lost their mind. The latter is however something Iâ(TM)ve seen happen when novice players come under a ton of pressure and actually might be an explanation as good as cheating. You donâ(TM)t expect that to ever happen at this level tho and thatâ(TM)s the reason this hand looks so much like cheating from Garrets perspective.
