Controversy
In 2017, a hand involving Torelli on Poker Night in America led to allegations of angle shooting after two $5,000 chips were concealed behind smaller denominations. Opponent Daniel Wolf misjudged the size of Torelli's stack and lost a larger pot than expected.[8] Doug Polk publicly criticized the incident. Torelli later stated that he did not intend to misrepresent his chip stack and apologized.[9]
