An illegal live poker game was raided by police in Thailand Sunday morning, resulting in the arrest of 9 foreign nationals and two Cambodian Casino workers who were acting as host and dealer for the game.
The game, allegedly run by 35 year-old US citizen Matthew Greynom, was in violation of Thailand’s anti-gambling legislation, reports Pattaya News. Police confiscated multiple currencies worth roughly $5700 USD, casino chips, a laptop and a ledger containing transactions between March and July 2013.
Along with Greynom, other foreigners arrested in the sting were US citizens Brian Thomas and Mark Neddleman, Craig Daniel (not to be confused with Daniel Craig) of the UK, Frank De Busscher of Belgium, Martin Picheslberger of Australia and Canadian, Monica Lee.
All those arrested have been charges and await court appearances.
