Because they support the parent comment, or for some other reason?
On the one hand, crazy shit happens all the time, and folks win by sucking out or by insane bluffs.
On the other hand, it's not considered honorable to win by mistake. Winning by catching a 3% is luck - but just screwing up isn't cool.
So, even though $130k (or whatever it was) seems like a lot of money - there is honor among (some/most) poker players, so it seems totally honorable to me that she gave him the money, as she doesn't feel she deserves it.
I don't know how she would have cheated. Maybe she did but it doesn't seem to me like she did.

In high school some 30 years ago, I was voted in to student council, and somehow became the parliamentarian (President, Vice-President, Secretary, Treasurer, and the lowly Parliamentarian).
Eager to wield the little power I had, I was a stickler for the rules. Until someone made a motion to suspend Robert's Rules of Order for the duration of the meeting, which was quickly seconded and approved with all but one vote.
Separately, I heard a story that in the Midwest, a rich man was ticketed for speeding, and hired a big shot attorney. At the trial, the defense attorney moved that the charges be dismissed. The old judge looked down at the prosecuting attorney, the defense attorney, and the defendant. He then called a vote, which passed 2 to 1 and the charges were dismissed.
"Hey Boss, could I get a $50k bonus and a promotion with 20% raise if I automated 30 hours of work per week that someone else does?"

If Not - do nothing.
At my last 3 jobs - it was common to slack or IRC "Got time for a zoom?" and on yes, type '/slack meeting talk.'
