You left out the part where the dealer may have been involved.
If the dealer truly was involved then yes, it's cheating. But just reading the description here it seems Ivy noticed the defect and asked the dealer to deal in a way that helped him spot that card later. I see nothing wrong with this.
That said, whether it is "wrong" in some moral sense is probably irrelevant, what matters here is what is legal.

I just watched the showtime sports segment about it. Ivey was upfront about it. He wired 3 mil to the casino, requested a specific type of deck, a specific type of shuffling machine and an Asian dealer.
The casino complied with all requests. He knew and freely admits he went in knowing he could exploit them.
The dealer was not in in it, he/she just flipped the cards in a manner that Iveys associate requested.
In my opinion, the casino complied with every request. Ivey did not break any laws, therefore the money should belong to him. Labeling him as a cheater is just flat out wrong and ignorant of the facts. If Ivey is a cheater, then every casino on the planet is cheating.
