World Series Poker star accused of cheating with $13m prize pot on the line

Poker star Martin Kabrhel has been accused of cheating at the World Series Tournament in which a $13million prize pot was on the line.

The World Series of Poker features a number of tournaments held annually in Nevada since 2004, and the latest event has become the source of a sport-wide scandal. At the Horseshoe Las Vegas on Sunday, Kabrhel eliminated Dan Smith in a high stakes moment - and the former World Poker Tour champion did not take his exit from the $250,000 Super High Roller Bowl well.

Kabrhel eliminated Smith in the final round of the tournament at the Horseshoe Las Vegas on Sunday, and the 34-year-old lashed out by accusing his opponent of cheating. The outburst went down in the middle of the televised game, with Smith claiming Kabrhel was "repeatedly marking cards" and attempting to look at other hands throughout.
