You’re conflating multiple things and confusing yourself.
The hand got popular because of the stakes. If it happens in a $10 online pot or $200 live, nobody cares!
The fact she was bought into a game for $200k, with no experience at these stakes is more suspicious to the “is it cheating” angle.
For the people who think these $15 online hands are “just as crazy” as this one, which has garnered tens of thousands of posts online, national coverage in LA Times, Howard Stern etc…why do those hands have like 4k views on YouTube in comparison?
Also I play more cautiously when other people have a piece. I passed on a sick bluff spot in my first Main cause I didn’t want to have to explain why I tried to 5bet bluff JC Tran to my friends who had like 40% of me. (Would have gotten through.)
There are UHF RFID tags that read at long distances, but that’s not what’s in poker cards. It seems way more likely that someone would be intercepting the data downstream if this isn’t an inside job, but that requires a new unknown person who’s a hacker of some sort. It’s not impossible but requires an even higher level of complexity, so not very plausible. However, it’s the only option that leaves a 4h/6c mixup in play afaict.
