Since there is no fee to play and no money
is wagered on the games, Nutz owner Richard Danford believed he was
complying with Florida's
gambling laws. Evidently the

expressed this disagreement by sending its agents, assisted by
black-masked local
police officers "in full riot gear" with "weapons drawn," to
raid a Texas Hold 'Em tournament at Louie's Grill and Sports
Bar in Largo
