6-Mar-06. Poker-lovin' vets forced to fold 'em. Calgary Sun, 2

The branch of the Royal Canadian Legion in Cranbrook, B.C. has decided to fold its popular Texas Hold'em tournaments rather than face a hefty fine. The Legion recently received notification from the provincial liquor inspector informing them that their tournaments could face the ires of the British Columbia Gaming Commission. Since late September, the Legion had been hosting weekly poker games that attracted up to eighty people who paid the $10 buy-in fee.
