Third Chicago Cop Stripped of Badge Following Strip Poker Sex Attack Scandal
A third Chicago police officer has been stripped of his badge following a shocking strip poker sex attack case that has taken the city by storm.

Black Poker Pro Eases on Down the Road to Success
Can you name a professional poker player who is black and not named Phil Ivey?
Probably not, and that's the problem.
The problem for professional poker, that is.
Pro poker, an activity with about as much diversity as a meeting of the Pat Boone Fan Club, desperately wants to appeal more to black America but it has a huge dearth of talent available for that particular role.

Phil Ivey Looks Stoned
He may have been perfectly sober for all we know, but a set of photos that popped up of poker pro Phil Ivey appear to have caught the player at an especially “bad” time.
“He looks either stoned or drunk,” observed Gambling911.com’s own Thomas Somach. Emphasis on the word “look” since we weren’t exactly there to administer a blood test.
The photos in question were taken during an event in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
To be fair, one does not necessarily associate Ivey and his squeaky clean image with drinking or recreational drugs.
