If the DHCP server provides you with an address on the same subnet that the hole card stream is being broadcast on, you could theoretically know the IP address without someone explicitly telling you.
If you were really crafty, you'd use a vulnerability scanner against the open ports in efforts to breach any security mechanisms in place.
That's the script kiddie way of doing it.
If Postile did this, it's possible that he violated the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act.
Did he? Who knows? I just know that you can't go around randomly pentesting and attempting to/successfully breaching someones network. Even if their password is password.
