Here's more anecdotal evidence of a rigged river card...

Single Table tourney, NL Holdem, down to 6 players.

The short stack at the table (the same guy) moves in three separate
times, and his hand is dominated after the flop each time. And all
three times, the river card makes the board play (2 straights and a
full house on the board). That's a tie, and the short stack stays
alive.

Then it happens a fourth time with two other players involved (short
stack going all in and dominated post-flop but comes out with a tie
when a straight hits the board).

You might call it RiverStars... but that's what happened in a LIVE
tourney to me a couple of weeks ago.

I suspect that there was a problem with the RNG, since he had already
consumed a six pack.

Bartender must have flipped the doom switch for the other players because
they weren't tipping as well as the short stack.
