One such game was broken up on Sunday when the man responsible for running the game was arrested. Police arrested the twenty nine year old man after an investigation uncovered that there was illegal poker games being played.
The William Paca Lodge was the location of the poker games. The games ranged from tournaments, to actual cash games. The investigation came to show that between twenty five to thirty five players were involved on a nightly basis.
