A high-stakes poker night at JokerStars Poker Room in Houston was marred by scandal this past Sunday, as three players, including a former club employee, were caught executing a sophisticated cheating operation using RFID technology and a concealed card reader.
The trio—Carlito, along with two guests he personally invited, Marcelo and Ivan—were identified after a security review exposed their coordinated scheme. According to club owner Jerry Yen, the footage prompted General Manager Jason Marshall to confront Carlito directly about the incident.
