Employees of The Lodge Card Club were informed via an email on Tuesday that they’ve been laid off two weeks following a raid of the popular Texas poker room.
The poker room in the Austin area has remained closed since the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission (TABC) conducted a raid of the business on March 10, which included seizing evidence and freezing assets. No one has been arrested or charged with any crime yet, but the card room co-owned by Doug Polk has an uncertain future that became even more questionable following an email sent to employees by one of the three majority owners, Jason Levin.
