A tournament meant to celebrate the second year of existence of a Florida poker room has instead become the target of rumors about the staff’s conduct after a huge chip controversy and other incidents that allegedly occurred.

Entering Day Six of the 2014 World Series of Poker Main Event, then-29-year-old poker pro Matt Waxman was in the middle of the pack of the 79 remaining players with 3.125 million in chips. Unlike some of his remaining competition, this wasn’t the pride of Parkland, Florida’s first time at the rodeo.

According to a statement posted on his Twitter feed, Rick Scott (pictured), the Governor of Florida, says he supports a ban on internet gambling in Florida and at the Federal level in the United States. Scott Tweeted, “Although a national ban would be a better approach, I support a ban on internet gaming in Florida.”
