Szymon Bujok: 9?9?

One day after being accused of cheating a California home game out of millions, Tony Mars issued a statement to PokerNews denying the allegations.
Wesley Fei and Nikhil "Nik Airball" Arcot, both Hustler Casino Live regulars, claim that Mars, who also plays on HCL, brought a special UV-marked deck that allowed him to decipher face-down cards.
The alleged scandal occurred in a game at a private residence in Yorba Linda, California, a community in Orange County.
The action was opened by David McLaughlin from the cutoff when he moved all in for his last 225,000. It then folded to Ottomar Ladva in the small blind who only took a moment before moving all in for a bit more.
McLaughlin called and the cards hit their backs.
David McLaughlin: 9?9?
Ottomar Ladva: A?A?
The full board ran out K?10?2?Q?7? and Ladva sent Mclaughlin to the rail just after dinner break.
