I like to play chess but am not knowledgable enough to make much of a comment. Don't know anything about fishing.

I do know a bit about poker though and can't possibly see anyway in which that lady was cheating. The only possible way it would make sense is if she somehow knew the turn and river (X2) cards before the dealer turned them over. I can't think of any scenario where that could have been the case so I think this is much ado about nothing. The call made no sense, but I've had people make calls like that before (not for $270k, bit I digress) on me. It's poker, there is no one way to play. The guy should give her the money back, it sounds like he strong armed her out of it, I'm guessing that #### wouldn't have occurred had the player been another male as opposed to a female....but I could be wrong about that.
