excerpt:
ALBANY – A social club that was hosting underground poker games was shut down by the city today, two days after a group of armed men robbed the game and some 40 players of their money and jewelry.
The city’s order was tacked to the door of the Azzurri social club at 192 North Allen St., stating the location was being used “as a gambling club” with no certificate of occupancy or building permit.
It’s the second time in two weeks an underground poker club may have been robbed at gunpoint in that neighborhood.
Earlier this month police investigated another robbery outside a social club around the corner on Central Avenue where another poker game was taking place.
