The Lodge Card Club sends out an email to its members.

The Lodge Card Club in Texas sent out an email to all of its members regarding recent developments. Unfortunately, it seems like the management is still in the dark regarding the reason for the recent raid. We are still waiting for Doug Polk’s announcement, which should be coming out today.

Brad Owen defends the Lodge along with Doug Polk.

Seems like Doug might be on the hook for seven figures, according to Owen’s post.

More information is to come, but in the meantime, it seems Tom Dwan has entered the chat, making things chaotic.

The Lodge situation remains unclear.

After the authorities raided the Lodge Card Club in Texas yesterday, Doug Polk took to X to give a quick update, promising a more in-depth explanation within the next day.

The Lodge Card Club targeted by the authorities.

Although details remain scarce at this time, the Lodge Card Club, the largest poker room in Texas, co-owned by Doug Polk, Brad Owen, and Andrew Neeme, was raided by the state police and the Texas Alcohol and Beverage Commission (TABC).

This is not the first time a Texas poker room faces wrath of the authorities, but it is the first time for The Lodge. We’ll find out more as this story develops, but this could be a major hit for live poker in Texas.
