Garrett Adelstein: 'I'll Never Return Robbie Lew's Money'


In the early hours of September 30, 2022, Robbie Lew made a legendary call with J4o against Garrett Adelstein on Hustler Casino Live. The incident sparked a massive controversy in the poker community.

Following the hand, Garrett Adelstein demanded that Robbie Lew return $135,000, and she complied. Adelstein then disappeared from public view for six months, causing a significant uproar in the community. Owners of Hustler Casino Live, Nick Vertucci and Ryan Feldman, conducted their own investigation and found no evidence of cheating by Robbie Lew. Despite this, Garrett Adelstein maintains his belief that Robbie Lew cheated in the hand.

In a recent interview, Adelstein stated that he suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) due to the incident and the subsequent backlash. He also expressed his frustration with the criticism and hate he received online. Adelstein firmly believes that Robbie Lew cheated and will never return the money he demanded from her.

I've spent years at the tables — cash and tournaments — and just as long shaping poker copy behind the scenes: room reviews, bonus fine print, tournament notes. At PokerInsider I write the way I wish more sites would: clear structure, honest trade-offs, no hype. Whether you're new or already grinding, I care about what the offer actually costs you — rake, variance, and the fine print — and I treat responsible play as part of the job, not a footnote.
