Our guest this week is Kelly Sun. The media dubbed her the “Queen of Sorts,” and her team mates called her a “baccarat machine.” You know her as the mysterious Chinese woman behind the Phil Ivey edge sorting cases in London, and Atlantic City. Also on this show is Michael Kaplan, who has written about Kelly for the NY Times, and Cigar Aficionado, and Lori Chang. Lori is a former member of the MIT blackjack team, and friend of Kelly. Kelly sometimes has trouble with English, and Lori came along to help translate, and share a few stories of her own.

I cracked up when Kelly first mentioned Palace Station too.
It was very interesting to hear a cheat talk about her “profession.” Oh wait, I forgot. Cheating isn’t cheating.
$20 per hour pay for video poker is generous.
Kevin, she is an advantage player not a cheat. She had additional knowledge and used it to her advantage. Just because gambling is her profession, she shouldn’t be judged by it. I’m sure your profession is above norm socially, so you have right to put her down as a cheat? I thought it was one of the best podcast about someone’s life.
2 of 3 UK judge said she is a cheat by civil law definition. The other judge disagree.
1 judge in USA said no cheat but still a breach of contact.
This is one of my favorite episodes so far! Kelly is hilarious!
