Originally, I didn’t want to comment publicly on all of the drama. However, once there were multiple lies and false or exaggerated accusations, I felt I had no choice but to clear my name and state the facts with evidence so that we can put this issue to rest.
Regarding the issue with C Ye at Venetian — the post below includes a link to a video from Xuan Liu, who is very reputable in the poker community and was there with me at the time. She can confirm that the floor staff told us they had checked the surveillance footage, and that the amount of chips C Ye actually had at the end of the game was different from the amount she reported to us.
People have asked what C Ye’s motivation could have been for misreporting. I can’t say for sure, but I do know that in the days leading up to June 7, she was on a huge downswing across private games, HCL, and baccarat — easily over $100K of her own money.
We also later got in touch with someone at the Venetian, who checked their internal records for us and found a record related to the surveillance inquiry. The record shows that the report was reviewed on June 21 at approximately 11:03 PM, and there is an internal report number associated with it.
I also have additional evidence supporting my account that Venetian security did in fact help me review the surveillance footage. However, I gave my word that this material would never be shared publicly, and I intend to honor that.
That said, we are willing to share the original materials privately with well-respected and credible members of the poker community who genuinely want to review the evidence. If that applies to you, feel free to DM me.
Because these materials contain internal Venetian information and involve staff who helped us, we will not post them publicly. We don’t want anyone at the Venetian getting in trouble for helping us.
C Ye tweeted that she put all of her chips in my bag ($187K). Venetian told Xuan that C Ye made a cage transaction for $106K after the game. That would explain where the rest of the chips went.
Further, attached is a video from Jeff the Cash, who was there that day and says he personally saw chips being taken off the table. Jeff is a very reputable high-stakes player and is willing to publicly speak about what he personally witnessed.
Regarding Wesley’s story — attached is a video from Aussie Alan confirming that I never owed anyone money and that Wesley’s allegations aren’t true.
Alan also spoke directly with L, the person referenced in Wesley’s post. L apologized to Alan and said that Wesley using his name without his approval was very wrong, especially when what Wesley was saying was not factually correct. The chat confirming this is attached below.
Charles, a well-known and reputable player on HCL who was mentioned in Wesley’s story, is also willing to publicly confirm on X that Wesley’s allegations against me are not true.
Charles was at the table that day and can confirm two things: first, he had bought action in Hank; and second, Hank did in fact secretly take chips off the table. Charles is willing to speak publicly about what he personally knows and witnessed.
Lastly, I want to make it clear that Ryan and HCL had no knowledge of me buying pieces of other players. I understand now that this can create a conflict of interest in certain games, but at the time, I sometimes bought action because I wanted to help younger players who might not otherwise have been able to play in those games. Going forward, I will not do it again.
I’m not perfect. I’ve made some mistakes, but never out of a lack of integrity. Things get heated and words get thrown around when poker players are no longer welcome in or able to access games they want to play.
Take the evidence below as you wish and decide for yourself. I just wanted one last opportunity to put all of this information and evidence out there, clear things up, and hopefully put this issue to rest once and for all.

just met a cute girl at this wedding i’m at
like actually cute. objectively dangerous face card.
we’re talking. vibes are immaculate. she’s laughing at my jokes. i’m in my bag.
then sports get brought up, she says it
“i watch football”
my ears PERKED up
i played it cool. i said “oh nice, what’s your team”
she said “i’m a giants fan”
and that’s where a normal person would’ve said “cool, me too” and gotten her number
but i am not a normal person
my brain instantly went into terminal mode and i said “what do you think of the team?”
she looked confused
i kept going
“Darius Slayton as our WR2? Are you kidding me. Matt Nagy as our OC? Did you see what he did to Patrick Mahomes? Our franchise qb and franchise edge rusher hate each other. And we traded away our superstar DT”
she laughed nervously and said “what”
and i said “And don’t even get me started on Cam Skattebo basically trying to get himself injured”
she said “what”
and i said “so do you even follow the team”
she said “I literally have a Darius Slayton Jersey”
the vibe was GONE
just vanished. Just like Daniel Jones in primetime.
her friend pulled her away. she didn’t look back.
i was standing there alone at a wedding holding a drink i wasn’t even sipping, doing MENTAL MATH on how someone could claim to be a giants fan and think this Darius Slayton deserved that contract.
my cousin walked over and said “bro she looked into you what happened”
i said “she’s a casual”
he said “so?”
SO???
i then realized i would rather cut off my entire family than to share a bloodline with someone of the same species that couldn’t comprehend this
she had a pretty face but a DISGUSTING perspective on life that i just couldn’t get behind
could’ve had her number
she could’ve been the mother of my children
COULD’VE.
but now at least she knows i know ball
and honestly that’s worth more
