If the things Negreanu says in this clip are true, did P.Ivey cheat ?

    Go look up what the Casino agreed to in order for Phil to play the game he wanted at their table. They're annoyed cos he exploited weaknesses in their game and took them for a wedge. Not cheating IMO.

    This is how much the Casino wanted Phil to play-For “Kelly” to edge-sort precisely, she requested the casino to meet four conditions. First, she wanted a dealer who speaks Cantonese (her native language). Second, the cards were to be sorted and shuffled in a particular manner. They play mini-baccarat, and that the deck shouldn’t change at any point.
    Further to this, Phil persuaded the casino to use Gemaco cards at his baccarat table. Unknown to the casino, Ivey and his acquaintance Sun had spotted an error in the card’s back patterns.
