He also played Omaha, so he had up to 6 cards to choose from at times.

so are you going to give his name or not?

Edit; I just saw the article refers to him as Mr X, so how do you know he has taken money from 2p2ers and is well known?

But to make his hand he needed to add his own cards. If he adds an ace of spades for example what is to stop one of the other players he is HU with having the original one?

What? Other players can't have the ace of spades because it's in his sleeve.

If I'm missing something then my bad. But its hard to tell as the article is in german

This is how it would work:

At some point, somehow, he grabs a card from the deck, either by palming it while the dealer isn't looking (he's sitting in seat 1 remember), or by mucking his hand with only one card, and keeping the other. He slips this card up his sleeve. Now, it turns out that card is the five of clubs. A few hands later, he is dealt 4/5 suited. He calls and sees a flop. The flop is Ace King 5. He switches the 4 in his hand for the 5 up his sleeve, boom, set of fives. There are no extra cards. you see how it works?

Is cheating in a German casino like jail time? and if so how long?

He is known as "Hassan", the article refers to him as Mr.X because they want to avoid legal issues. I don't know his last name (or that his first name is even Hassan), but everyone knows him as Hassan.

He's been barred from all casinos in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. AFAIK he's not going to be face legal troubles, though I'm not 100% sure.
