Hall of Famer & Poker Champ Ted Takasaki Offers Thoughts on Fishing Cheating Scandal

When it comes to poker and fishing, perhaps no one is more qualified that South Dakota’s Ted Takasaki. Not only is he a poker champion – he won the 2016 MSPT Grand Falls – he is also a legendary angler. In fact, he is a member of the Fishing Hall of Fame and a top competitor on the National Walleye Tour. In 1998, he won the prestigious Professional Walleye Trail (PWT) Classic Championship, and three years before that the 1995 PWT Top Gun Angler Award.

The world has been consumed by the Hustler Casino Live (HCL) alleged cheating drama between Garrett Adelstein and Robbi Jade Lew, and one of the reasons interest has been so high from mainstream audiences is that it coincided with high-profile cheating scandals in the chess and fishing industries.
