    doing a quick google to sort out some poker action in NYC and came across this:

    http://www.nynewsday.com/news/nyc-poke0528,0,4152415.story?coll=nyc-homepage-breaking2

    players and dealers arrested!

    lots of back and forth arguments over the wording of the law and players debating whether the game should fall under 'gambling' but no more advertised HGCA or tourneys in NYC for the foreseeable future :(
