Thursday, February 9, 2006, the Imperial House banquet center was raided by police. The center, located in Clinton Township, was supposed to be the location of an illegal no-limit Texas Hold’em game, according to the tip off received by the police. When police arrived they indeed caught the game in action, with the force led by Clinton Township Police Captain Fred Posavetz stopping play and seizing poker chips, playing cards, nearly $50,000 in cash from the nearly 100 players.
A seating chart, cash bar and even a big prize for the eventual winner all pointed to a well organized event. The owner, who was working at the Imperial House at the time of the raid, will face charges as early as next week from the police and charges filed with the Michigan Liquor Control Commission.
