Cercle Haussmann: The police closed the game circle
Popular meeting place for poker enthusiasts, the famous French gambling club Cercle Haussmann was forced to close its doors last Monday. Already victim of such sanction from March 2008 to September 2009 for embezzlement and irregularities in the management of employees, the circle game has been reopened and was able to operate legally. Many poker players found satisfaction in the various events offered by the circle. Very soon, a new prestigious tournament was also planned to be held there which is the PariStars tournament. Even if the closure of the place is temporary, the holding of tournament there is compromised.
It was the central police of games and racing that visit this institution in the morning of Monday, May 23. The majority of the circle game managers were arrested and during the raid, police also seized the money provided for the functioning of the place. The investigation about the accusations that led to the closure of the Cercle Haussmann continues. And until the end of the process, those who like playing poker in this place will have to find a new place where to meet. As a reminder, this circle is not the only victim of such an event as many gaming establishments have also faced the same misfortunes as the Cercle Concorde that was able to reopen its doors, the Cercle Cadet, the Cercle de lÂ’Industrie et du Commerce and also the circle Aviation Club de France that received 6 months ago a warning about its irregular status.
