Authorites conducted a search of The Lodge Card Club in Texas on Tuesday, which turned out to be due to suspicion of money laundering and illegal gambling.
No one has been arrested or charged with any crime at this point, but the card room — Texas' largest — remains closed during the investigation, and it appears highly unlikely to reopen any time soon. Some poker fans have cracked jokes on Reddit and other social media platforms about the situation, most taking shots at co-owner Doug Polk who, they claim, is getting "karma" for ripping other poker players over past scandals on YouTube.
