Stones Gambling Hall Poker Atlas

Posted on by admin

Following a settlement, the alleged accomplice in the lawsuit accusing Mike Postle of cheating a low-stakes, live-streamed poker game at Stones Gambling Hall has been rehired by the Sacramento-area casino, according to a post on Twitter. If it weren’t for the COVID-19 pandemic, however, Stones Gambling Hall Tournament Director Justin Kuraitis might not have missed a paycheck.

Along with running the tournaments at Stones, Kuraitis was also in charge of the Stones Live Poker livestream, and was believed by many high-profile figures in the poker world to be the accomplice feeding hole card information to Postle.

The lawsuit is basically over at this point as 62 of the 88 plaintiffs in the case accepted a settlement.

Mac VerStandig, counsel for the plaintiffs, released a statement saying that there was no evidence supporting the claims that Kuraitis and Postle cheated, which was likely required as part of the settlement deal.

After nearly a year of silence, Kuraitis released a statement of his own Tuesday morning on Twitter, reasserting his innocence, attacking those that accused him, and thanking those that supported him in the legal battle that ensued.

“Turns out this ‘community’ did not care about right or wrong, fairness, or a crucial review of the actual facts,” wrote Kuraitis in a four-page statement. “It was a rush to judgment with the Twitter mob interested in saying outrageous things and jumping to unwarranted conclusions, all in an effort to get followers, clicks, and likes.”

Near the end of his essay, he thanks “Rudy Robledo, Kirk Rexford, and the countless local Sacramento poker players” for circulating a petition for Stones to rehire him.

But if it wasn’t for coronavirus, Kuraitis might not have ever been let go in the first place. A Human Resources representative at Stones confirmed to Card Player that Kuraitis was originally hired by the company in July 2013 and did not miss a paycheck until nearly the entire staff was furloughed in March, when the nation’s brick-and-mortar casino market was shut down. The accusations against Kuraitis originally surfaced in early October of 2019.

In the statement, Kuraitis railed against several mainstream poker media outlets for ignoring the petition in their coverage along with any supposed evidence of innocence. When asked about the petition, however, Kuraitis did not provide any links or documents that could prove its existence, nor did he say how many people signed it.

“The names of the people who circulated the petition are in my letter,” Kuraitis vaguely responded.

Kuraitis declined to address any questions regarding the status of his employment with Stones and what work he did for the casino in the interim. Despite responding to many critics on Twitter, Kuraitis ignored direct questions asking him if Postle was indeed guilty, as most of the poker world suspects.

The statement does praise one media outlet, RounderLife, which has run a slew of pro-Postle pieces in the last year and has been linked to Postle himself. In one of the early court filings surrounding the case, Postle’s email address was listed as “roundermagpro” at one of the major email providers. He was also listed as part of the publication’s marketing and promotions department on the masthead of the magazine.

Postle also broke his silence on Tuesday, telling the Sacramento Bee that he is participating in a documentary to tell his side of the story that “won’t just shock the poker and gambling industries, but the entire world.”

The alleged cheating scheme facilitated by Stones Gambling Hall in Citrus Heights is finally coming to an end with a $30 million lawsuit reaching a conclusion with the majority of plaintiffs accepting the terms of a newly-brokered deal between all parties involved.

It took a year, but finally an “amicable settlement” has been reached, confirmed Maurice “Mac” VerStandig, a lawyer who took the case including some 90 plaintiffs who alleged that Stones Gambling Hall and Mike Postle, the player who was allegedly cheating but was acquitted earlier this year, had been cheating.

Postle was winning 94% of his hands in games hosted by the venue. As it turns out, though, no foul play had been involved, VerStandig said on behalf of 60 plaintiffs, with the rest still considering whether to submit an amended complaint by October 1, 2020.

VerStandig and Stones Gambling Hall Settle Amicably

The settlement effectively led to the dismissal of the case against Justin Kuraitis, a Stones’ live poker manager, who was accused of facilitating the cheating that supposedly took place during the live games.

After reviewing the footage closely, though, even VerStandig said that he and the plaintiffs were sure that there had been no cheating on behalf of Postle, the venue or Kuraitis.

“Based on our investigation, we are satisfied that Stones and Mr. Kuraitis were not involved in any cheating that may have occurred. While Stones has not spoken publicly regarding the details of their investigation during its pendency, its counsel and Mr. Kuraitis’ counsel have been immensely cooperative behind-the-scenes.”

Nevertheless, Richard Pachter, attorney for Justin Kuraitis cautioned that the settlement was not final and that there were plaintiffs who may choose to pursue the case.

Not All Plaintiffs Have Accepted Settlement

Previously, the case was dismissed by a federal judge in Sacramento who argued that under California law, lawsuits to recover gambling losses may not be filed. The plaintiffs had to amend their complaint and filed it again which eventually led to this week’s settlement.

The case has had its twists and turns. Mike Postle, the player around whom the entire case was focused on was not mentioned in the settlement. He was acquitted previously and now that Stones Gambling Hall and Kuraitis are in the clear, the case can finally be settled.

That is unless the remaining plaintiffs choose to pursue the case further and resubmit an amended complaint. Veronica Brill, a recreational player, was the first to throw the first punch at Mike Postle arguing that his winning streak, with Postle amassing some $250,000 between July 2018 and September 2019, was due to cheating with the help of someone at the casino.

Now that none of the allegations have been proven that begs the question whether the community doesn’t owe Postle and Kuraitis an apology. Both individuals’ reputations were tarnished with Twitter users taking jabs at them online and calling them cheaters.

Commenting on the social media pressure, Kuraitis had this to say cited by the Merced Sun-Star: “The Twitter mob is real, it is ugly, and it has real life consequences. I have never before experienced so much hatred, ignorance and even threats of violence.”

Postle has decided to withdraw from live poker, and with the COVID-19 lockdown hitting all poker rooms across the United States, it may be the right time for a break. In the meantime, VerStandig explained that Stone Gambling Hall has even agreed to pay an undisclosed settlement sum as a token of good will.
