Texas Hold'em Poker Game At Ham's Shut Down

Investigators say the game is illegal because it is one of chance and it offered prizes.

Greensboro, NC -- A Texas Hold'em Poker game at Ham's on High Point Road got shut down by State Alcohol Law Enforcement Agents Wednesday night.

Investigators say the game is illegal because it is one of chance and it offered prizes.

Large and small prizes like food coupons. The grand prize is a $10,000 seat at a poker game in Las Vegas.

Ham's hired a company out of Charlotte to run the game and ALE Agents seized the tables, poker chips and other gambling materials used to run it.

No one was charged in the case.

Ham's voluntarily agreed to call off poker games at other area restaurants scheduled for this week.
