HOUSTON, TX / The dust had just settled around the Mike Postle cardroom controversy after a recent dismissal of the case when Postle filed a defamation lawsuit against several other poker players and publications.
The controversy began when Veronica Brill, a professional poker player, spoke up about Postle’s alleged cheating during the Stones Gambling Hall “Stones Live” cash game stream (September 2019). Several players watched the video and commented on it on social media, also accusing Postle of cheating.
Postle responded by filing a $330 million defamation lawsuit against Brill, Joey Ingram, Daniel Negreanu, PokerNews, and ESPN, among others. The suit claims that because of the allegations of cheating, Postle is no longer able to work as a professional poker player and provide for his young daughter.
