Do you really think that is where the blame belongs???

A good night for me to go home early, I guess.

OK, I hate the New York Post as well.

let me guess -

A-rod and Phil were at the club and the Post wrote about it.

time for some lynchings.

Bust folds 'em at A-Rod poker spot

Cops have raided a high-stakes Manhattan poker club that has drawn the likes of Yankees superstar Alex Rodriguez and professional card shark Phil Hellmuth, police said yesterday.
The Daily News was the first to report that A-Rod and Hellmuth, the youngest player to win the World Series of Poker, attended the Broadway Club in Chelsea the night of Sept. 21. Police said neither of the big names is under criminal investigation.

"It's not illegal to play," a police source said yesterday. "It's illegal for the house to profit."

Vice cops executed a search warrant late Friday at the club, which is on the sixth floor of 151 W. 25th St. The warrant was in response to a recent complaint alleging a gun was pulled on someone there, a police source said.

Just before midnight, cops arrested 13 dealers and other workers and seized about $56,000 in cash. The suspects were charged with counts including promotion of gambling, possession of a controlled substance and possession of gambling paraphernalia.

More than 20 players spread among the tables were briefly detained and questioned, but not arrested. A law enforcement source said the game late Friday was a qualifying round for a tournament organizers had hoped would continue yesterday.

The two biggest poker clubs in the city - the Players Club and Play Station - were raided in May. The illegal clubs, which have grown in popularity over the last several years, mirror the growth of poker's popularity on cable television and online. They attract everyone from beginners to professionals to celebrities.

Yes, everything confiscated.

Probably around 80-100 people inside at the time of the raid. Around 15 cops walked in at around 11:30 pm. At the time of my leaving, they still had all the dealers in the back room, 3 of them handcuffed. Technically that cost me $500 which i've bought in for, however I had a 1.5k stack at the time of the raid [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] According to knowledgeable people that was a rather efficient raid, only kept us there for 2 hours. Let all the players go after collecting IDs(later giving them back), making pictures and talking to everyone. Don't know what happens to dealers or owners.

I guess you were in the 3 or 4 seat and on one hand 3 bet black TT from the SB, caught an all club K high flop and rivered another for the win? Glasses and BB cap?
