Nice interview.
I find it really hard to believe that this is made up. The story seems perfectly plausible, racener has absolutely no reason to lie, and his discussion of the situation is full of details that check out.
Some of Sorel's post just comes off as such blatant lying. This in particular was just pretty ridiculous:

I'm not even sure exactly how one effectively cheats in Chinese. The only stories I've heard about cheating in chinese poker is people who muck their bottom hands and put a big hand up top when their entire hand is **** (like bad 3pair so they put AA up top and muck rest of their hand). Or maybe putting down a big royalty (straight flush) but setting it down so that you don't see that one of the cards in the "straight flush" is actually a heart and not a diamond ex.(having 3d,4d,5d,6h,7d) but covering it as if the heart is a diamond) Dealing off the bottom of the deck is ridic, honestly sounds like something out of a movie and don't really think it would be effective in Chinese ( unless ur playing with jokers i guess).. I've probably played with jokers a total of 5 or 6 times?... I'm by no means a magician or good with cards or card tricks... I have one card trick and its kind of lame...
That's just such classic lying to act all confused about the accusation when he obviously knows exactly what he was accused of doing.
What's the deal with the texts, though? It's weird not to have texts saved... I guess if it's from a few weeks ago he could have a new phone or have deleted texts to save memory or whatever.
