On May 26, two underground New York City poker clubs, the New York Players Club and the PlayStation, were stormed by police, who arrested 39 of the clubs' employees and confiscated $100,000 in cash. Reports later emerged that the raids were issued after the Players Club allegedly hosted celebrity poker players Macauly Culkin and Hank Azaria.
In response to the raids, Jim Lesczynski, the Libertarian contender for Public Advocate, is organizing a protest poker tournament, slated for this Thursday, July 14. The "No Poker, No Peace Penny Poker Tournament" will take place following a press conference, whose main focus will be the police's confiscation of $100,000, which Lesczynski believes to be illegal.
The police are investigating a potential connection between the poker clubs and organized crime. Therefore, they say that the confiscation was warranted, as the money is considered evidence in the investigation.
