It is not impossible, of course, but it is highly unlikely without cheating; especially, when cheating is possible and plausible.
Same comment regarding chess. With computers calculating perfect moves in milliseconds, transmitting a perfect move to a player is possible and plausible.
Just like the infamous LZR swimming suites, the right question should be: how to prevent this from happening again in honest competitions and not how to prove that the players in question have cheated, which is practically impossible without direct admission of guilt from them or their accomplices.

First of all, there is no real qualification to getting into a high stakes cash game except having money she's willing to risk. It's not like she's a seasoned pro that everyone knows.
Second, even if she knew his hole cards, every move she made was a bad move including letting the river run twice. The only way this can be full on cheating is if she knew his hole cards and the turn, the first river and second river. There is a slight chance that some of this could be accomplished by gaining access to the tech that scans the rfid for the hole cards for tv, but I can't imagine how they could scan the 3 cards that were going to follow the flop.
