A bit more there - they name the poker room manager as arrested.

Quite frankly this doesn't surprise me, I can't remember the last table I was at where people were not actively betting sports.

Please cite the exact sentence that says the poker room manager was arrested--or please post a retraction.

If you going by this sentence:

The casino employees charged included poker room supervisors, dealers and a bartender.

...then please note your poor reading comprehension skills in your retraction.

WNBC has the full list of suspects here, and indeed, the room manager is not on it. Three poker supervisors, two dealers and a bartender are.

Can you describe him? Is he one of the regular high limit players, or am I thinking of someone else.

By the way, the "Andrew" arrested obviously was not me. My life is not that interesting.

Yeah he is one of the high limit regulars and so is the half of the list of people who got charged....If all those guys will get banned from Borgata, 40-80 will be the highest game in the room for a very long while... [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

You're probably thinking of the right person. He looks Italian, short hair, medium/slender build, medium height. Been playing more no-limit recently than anything else (at least when I've been around).

His buddy Ian is also listed as charged. As someone above mentioned, if some of these regulars are banned, some of the games will definitely affected.
