Adelstein-Lew controversy

In September 2022, Adelstein lost $269,000 to Robbi Jade Lew in Hustler Casino Live. Lew had made an unusual bet; she called a high bet with a weak hand. Adelstein felt something was fishy when Lew won. Usually calm, Adelstein suspected cheating and left the table.

Later, Lew gave back the money to Adelstein. However, Adelstein took to Twitter and accused her and other people of the organising committee of cheating. Lew said she returned the money to avoid conflict, not because she cheated.

The poker committee was divided in half; some believed Lew cheated, while others supported her, and Adelstein's reputation shattered.
