It found someone with the blue screen on his phone here:
can somebody flick through the video and confirm who that is please?
It looked like J.F. Keraitus to me, but it's impossible to know for sure. Note that whoever it was might have a blue background on their SMS/text chat app and be unconnected to the conspiracy.
I hope your AI bots find some more goodies like this.

Very nice work.
The original creator of the spreadsheet apparently locked it down and/or moved it to a new (non-public) location. I made a copy and added notes and links to your posts about this session. If you PM me, I think can give you a link to an updated sheet. I'm not very techno-savvy. :/

The bolded turned my stomach. Didn't Racks die within days of being superused?
Thanks very much for the correction on the rebuys. As with isolated's research, I've added notes and a link to your post in a new (editable) version of the spreadsheet. PM me for a link if you want it.

I don't really have the time to do this in the next couple of days, but I agree that it might be useful. If nothing else, it makes each session slightly easier to identify/remember if you note the commentators. They all start blending into one after you've looked a few.

It's certainly possible that a crew member altered the camera angles to avoid showing so much of Postle. I think they even might have started giving Postle less "air time" (by selecting different camera shots live) precisely to allow him to look at his crotch without the cameras seeing it. (I presume the 'TV director' manually chooses which camera feed to record in OBS, but maybe it's automated and linked to the action tracker program).
I believe that the table itself is sometimes moved across the room slightly (for whatever reason - it's effectively just a big piece of furniture) and there are sometimes more or fewer people in the game, so the overheard cameras have to be adjusted by the production crew either just before, or in the first few minutes of, a session.
When Keraitus was in Vegas, and Smith was acting as floor manager and commentator (but not the graphics/peek room guy) for a non-cheating 'Postle and Pals' stream, Smith had to leave the commentary booth to adjust the camera angles. For parts of the stream a camera boom/pole is right in the middle of the picture with a phone on the end. See
12:07. If memory serves, Smith was so busy with commentating, floor-managing, and chat-modding, that he ended up not bothering to fix that problem.
If he was an accomplice, there was no need to cover up Mike's play in that session, because he'd be aware that Postle was not cheating. Postle (who doesn't even wear a hat) apparently bought the wine for the table and they just had a good ole time.
