Boston Fuzz Raid Underground Poker Joint
Eighty poker players have been charged with illegal gambling in what Baltimore police said was the largest gambling raid in the city in decades.
The arrests occurred Wednesday night at a club called the Owl's Nest in a refurbished warehouse near Camden Yards. Authorities seized more than $25,000 in cash, poker chips, cards, parts for illegal gambling machines and cases of illegal liquor.
Those charged were playing Texas Hold 'Em -- the variety of poker popularized in recent years in televised tournaments from Las Vegas. Police said 15 other people -- including the club's operators -- could face criminal charges.
[Here's the kicker... - Ed ] The owner of the warehouse told The (Baltimore) Sun she thought the club operators were running a legal business helping to raise money for charity.
