Online poker is supposed to be a game of strategy, statistics, and luck. But what happens when someone suddenly has the ability to see every card—in real time? That’s exactly what happened in the biggest online poker scandal in history. At the center of it all is Russ Hamilton, World Series of Poker champion and insider of a system that gave players a secret “God Mode.” With this exploit, an administrator could see all the cards at the table—an advantage that siphoned millions of dollars from the game while other players lost without a clue. This short audiobook tells the incredible story behind the fraud: how the online poker system was manipulated, how investigators uncovered the pattern, and why, despite millions in damages, hardly anyone was prosecuted.
