JAMES BOND STAR IN POKER RELATED PROBE

Mads Mikkelsen, who plays the bad guy 'Le Chevre' in the latest Bond movie 'Casino Royale' is being investigated for his part in a free poker tournament held in his native Denmark. But, some think the authorities may be out of line with the investigation. "He only went to the tournament for fun. No one can believe the police are taking it seriously. It was a lighthearted cards game with no money involved. This is a total joke." One source confided.

PARTY SNAPS UP EMPIRE, NOBLE POKER

Party Poker was long rumored to be doing a deal to buy Empire Poker, and wrap up one of the more interesting sagas the young online poker business has seen. Not only did the Empire deal close recently, but Party also acquired the company that owns Noble Poker. The combined compensation for the two deals was about $66 Million in PartyGaming stock, and the company will issue additional shares to help pay for the deals.

THE NEW TREND IN POKER

Three men barged into a poker tournament at the Italian American Citizens Club in Wilkins Township, PA and 'relieved' the players of their cash. About 50 players were on hand, and about $20,000 was taken, according to Allegheny County Authorities. The men barged in, beat up a security officer, and then fired shots into the ceiling of the room, yelling for everyone to get on the ground. A composite sketch of one of the robbers was released, as he was the only one not wearing a mask. There are no further leads at this time.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL COACH PROHIBITS POKER AND GAMBLING

When the Oklahoma State football team was in Shreveport (home to several casinos) to play in the Independence Bowl recently, coach Mike Gundy banned his team from entering the casinos. Several players from the opposing Alabama Crimson Tide were spotted in the casinos putting money into play, but Gundy thinks it sets a bad example. "If our guys want to play poker or gamble, they have the rest of their lives to do that," Gundy said. "I don't have anything against it. But [while they are at this game] they're still on our time." Oklahoma State edged Alabama in the game, 34-31.
