I think the only reason this drama is going around is because of the chess drama. It's in the zeitgeist and it's good clickbait right now. It's made clear by articles like this that are using the chess drama to make their article interesting, including an even more tenuous link to some fishing drama.
Go back an hour in the footage, and she's calling with Jack high on a KQK board against the same player, and she calls for extra time before eventually folding a bet on the river when she still has Jack high. It's apparently not unlike her to be trying to catch bluffs with hands that lose to the bluff. She's new to poker and playing against sharks on TV. She's nervous and embarrassed and doing and saying things that don't make sense.

And you’re making that out as if that reduces the suspicion?
