Police In Spain Bust Small-time Underground Poker Game

The National Police from the Spanish city of Velez-Malaga busted up a €30 minimum buy-in poker game in the early hours of the morning today, according to the Euro Weekly News, where they confiscated over €1600 in cash.

The cops also grabbed a few stacks of poker chips, a couple decks of card as well as the suitcase they all were probably transported in.
