Cheating allegations

In 2023, Kabrhel was accused of cheating by several other poker players. The allegations pertain to a high roller tournament at the World Series of Poker 2023 in which he is accused of marking cards.[10][11] Kabrhel is denying the accusations and says he is being targeted for his sometimes disruptive behaviour and that he will take legal actions against the accusations.[10] The World Series of Poker has started an investigation into the matter but has yet to release a statement about the incident.[10][11]
