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.

Kayhan Mokri raised to 40,000 in the hijack and Nozomu Shimizu called in the cutoff.
Both players checked to the river on a board of J?5?10?2?3? when Mokri bet 65,000. Shimizu snap-called.
Mokri showed K?J? for top pair, but Shimizu had A?J? and won the pot with his ace-kicker.
"Holy moley, I've never been more confident I was winning a hand in my whole life," Mokri said.
Shimizu then put in 30,000 from the hijack before being forced to make it 40,000. The rest of the table folded and Shimizu showed a deuce.
Shimizu raised again the next hand to 40,000 and Mokri called in the big blind. Both players checked down the J?8?3?7?K? board.
Mokri showed A?9?, but once again Shimizu had him out-kicked with A?10?. "Didn't he have like 5,000 chips," Mokri said as Shimizu claimed another pot.
