Garrett Adelstein no longer welcome on the Hustler stream

In a surprise U-turn we won't see 'G-Man' make his return to the stream where he accused Robbi Jade Lew of cheating.

J4o-Gate shows no signs of dying. In the same month that the infamous hand that got the poker world talking won a poker award, the loser of that hand is in the news again. 

Garrett Adelstein, the man who initially accused Robbi Jade Lew of cheating, has been told he is not welcome back on the Hustler Live Stream. 

Adelstein hinted he would be open to going back on the stream, first when Robbi Jade Lew was cleared of cheating, and again when a $1 million buy-in game was announced for May. The Hustler stream also said at the time that Garrett was welcome back. 

However, Hustler boss Nick Vertucci said on his podcast that Garrett will not be invited back to the stream. The main reason given is that the other players don't want Adelstein back because he was such a big winner. The pots and buy-ins have got bigger in his absence, which Vertucci says is because Adelstein is not there. 

Adelstein tweeted that the feeling was mutual and that he had no plans to play on the stream either, hinting that he still does not trust the security there. 

Make no mistake, I have chosen to avoid all poker streams for the last 6 months, not the other way around. And my life has been awfully blissful in the interim. I still may hop on a stream I trust later, but until then, stay thirsty and keep using my name for clicks. I’ll help: https://t.co/6gLUiNcqPT

Meanwhile, Robbi Jade Lew has been playing on plenty of streams, most notably the Hustler competitor Live at the Bike. It does seem like the streaming world is poised to one day bring these two players together, one way or another.
