Swedish Tourney Ends in Jail Time for Organizers

A million-kronor poker tournament resulted in four men being charged by police. It turns out the poker event was illegal, and two of the four have been jailed so far. Around 700 people took place in the poker tournament, which resulted in two men getting six and eight months in prison. The other two were fined 80 days wages by Uddevalla District Court. This is all happening now, but the tournament took place in March of last year. When each player paid their $390 to play, the organizers held on to $30 of it, which eventually landed them in hot water.
