A computer technician took to the stand Wednesday to testify regarding an FBI ruse to gain access into gambling high roller suites of poker player Paul Phua and his son Darren at Caesars Palace.

The technical consultant Michael Wood told a judge he did not know a Nevada Gaming Control Board agent used a lapel camera to record them delivering a laptop to a suite the government later raided.

FBI agent Minh Pham already acknowledged in court that Internet service to the suites had intentionally been disabled.

Defense attorneys maintain the ruse was unconstitutional.

The Phua father-and-son tandem are the only individuals left of a half dozen arrested who have yet to enter guilty pleas. Both are accused of running a multi-million dollar World Cup betting ring from their Las Vegas hotel room suites.
