Invisible ink marked cards

Phil Ivey, a 10-time World Series of Poker winner . He could not stand the saying that he cheated to win nearly $22 million anymore, so he started to fight and insisted that he did nothing illegal. In order to prove his innocence, he asked for a specific brand of playing cards, a shuffling machine, an Asian dealer and that the same card decks be used. The casinos granted all of those requests.  Ivey said each of those conditions was used to get an edge, including bringing a companion with him who spoke Mandarin who could communicate with the dealer. The shuffling machine, for example, would keep the cards in a certain order, he said. "Some people believe that it was cheating," Ivey said. "I know it wasn't. The professional gamblers know it's not. I wouldn't do anything close to cheating. I mean, my reputation is everything in gambling.
