After the emergence of incriminating video footage, Chris Skinner admitted that he added more chips to his stack.<\/p>\n<p>In a social media post, he said that there was no excuse for his actions. He went on to remark that he deeply regrets his actions and is \u201cgenuinely heartbroken\u201d about tarnishing his name in the tight-knit poker community.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>people believe he deserves a lifetime ban<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Skinner doesn\u2019t intend to play poker again for several months while he reflects on what happened. The Southern Poker Tour (SPT) has removed Skinner as an ambassador and banned him from playing indefinitely. Some people believe he deserves a lifetime ban.<\/p>\n<p>The country\u2019s poker community is now questioning the legitimacy of his past wins. A player at another table spotted Skinner adding the chips from his pockets, which led to the examination of CCTV footage. Skinner initially denied any wrongdoing.<\/p>\n<p>He had a reputation for transporting chips from tournament to tournament, which led some people to wonder if he had exploited his access on other occasions to boost his stack. Skinner\u2019s Hendon Mob figures show he has amassed over US$312,270 in live tournament earnings. <\/p>\n<p>The SPT confirmed that Skinner transported tables during the first two years following its launch in 2020. Only SPT owners and established staff members transport the chips now, and they are \u201cstored securely after each series.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In a statement to the <em>Daily Mail<\/em>, a Victoria Police spokesperson said that it didn\u2019t receive any reports regarding Skinner\u2019s cheating.<\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vegasslotsonline.com\/news\/2026\/01\/09\/australian-poker-player-admits-cheating-after-cctv-catches-him-adding-chips-to-his-stack\/\">Australian Poker Player Admits Cheating After CCTV Catches Him Adding Chips to His Stack<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vegasslotsonline.com\/news\">Vegas Slots Online News<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The post Australian Poker Player Admits Cheating After CCTV Catches Him Adding Chips to His Stack appeared first on Vegas Slots Online News.<br \/>\nA well-known Australian poker player was caught adding chip<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-312","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-poker"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/coffeemug.club\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/312","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/coffeemug.club\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/coffeemug.club\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/coffeemug.club\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=312"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/coffeemug.club\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/312\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/coffeemug.club\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=312"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/coffeemug.club\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=312"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/coffeemug.club\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=312"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
