Absolutely possible - in fact, I'd say likely, otherwise Mr. Goodwin would have taken precautions against the possibility that Mr. Ivey was engaging in a deception. That does not, IMO, relieve Mr. Goodwin from the consequences of the omission, no more than operating a car without using a seat belt relieves a driver from the consequences of getting into an accident.

Mr Ivey was involved in lying not deception, he was asked a straight question and lied, how is that deception?
Your analogy is nonsense, if you drive a car without a seatbelt, you have knowingly taken an extra risk if you have an accident, are you trying to say he should know whether he will have an accident on a given day? That is how your analogy pans out.
Ivey lied, therefore he cheated.
