So the matter went to court, leading to a highly unusual new ruling of Britain’s Supreme Court, which relied on the casino’s extensive surveillance footage, both video and audio. “If I am labelled a cheat, that’s death,” Ivey told court in earlier proceedings, which a judge accepted as an honest opinion. It requires a lot of skill.”The top court decided Ivey was mistaken in his opinion that he was honest.

Ivey, 40, who lives in Las Vegas, has won many high-profile poker tournaments and this year was elected to the Poker Hall of Fame.
