The Mike Postle case has rumbled on through the turn of the year in poker and just when you thought it might be over, Coronavirus came along. That makes court appearances all the more unlikely, with the number of cases dropped due to illness on the rise.

Mike Postle would appear to have filed a motion to dismiss his case.

We say ‘appear’ because the official court document appeared via Rounder Life in an odd way. You can take a look at the official report yourself right here.

While on the face of it, this isn’t a shocking revelation, Postle’s claim that it’s going to be impossible to prove that he cheated due to the lack of specific evidence rather than general consensus is a weak-looking argument. That is unless you take into consideration that the burden of proof is always on proving guilt rather than innocence, which is assumed from the get-go. This is already the route that Stones Gambling Hall – the venue where Postle’s alleged misdemeanours are said to have occurred – has taken the same stance.
