Police in Iceland halted a poker tournament on Saturday and confiscated everything used in the event. The Reykjavik police picked up the poker tables, cards and chips an hour after the event began around 2 in the afternoon. Gambling for a living is illegal in Iceland, yet bridge and bingo games are held where the organizers take a cut of the buy in. This was the first public poker tournament held in Iceland, and a cut was taken, which was the reason the police shut the event down. The event organizer, Sindri Ludviksson, said he wasn't aware he was doing anything wrong.
