Derek Kelly claims poker is a skill game that gives every player an equal opportunity to win. While many agree with the 46-year-old club owner from central London, he will have a tough task defending his claim in the British courts.
Kelly has been accused of contravening the Gaming Act which says a licence is needed to host games of chance but not games of skill, like chess and quiz machines.
"Poker is a game of equal opportunity. If I sat down to play with you (Det Insp Darren Warner) nothing would detract from who is the best player other than skill.
"If you do not believe that, I could produce volumes to show you that the best players in the world continue to win competitions," Kelly told police.
The trial was adjourned until Friday.

Singapore played host to the first major poker tournament in Asia this weekend. The event was a great success with Tony Guoga edging out local Josh Ang and Lee Nelson in the $5000 Main Event.
Organizers were delighted when two Singaporeans made the Final Table of the 10-handed game. In the end though, the red hot 'Tony G' was too much, taking the largest poker prize ever in Asia when his T6 beat Ang's AJ after a ten paired on the flop.

Professional Poker Champion Kenna James and SunPoker
have announced the start of a brand new poker league, The
Kenna James Bounty League. This new league will start by
rewarding a total of four SunPoker members with $10,000
seats at the main event of the L.A. Poker Classic, an additional
$2,500 for hotel and airfare, and a personal training session with
Kenna James.
The newly formed Bounty League will feature a $22 buy-in
tournament every Thursday where SunPoker members will
have the opportunity to play against Poker Superstar Kenna
James. The lucky SunPoker member who knocks out Kenna
will receive $500 in prize money as well as extra bounty points.
Bounty points are given out for participating in each tournament,
for knocking Kenna James out of a tournament, and based upon
the players' tournament performance. The more tournaments
members' play, the more points they will be able to accumulate.
Point totals will be refreshed each month, allowing every player
a new opportunity to play and win.
The final table at the end of each month, determined according
to the top 10 bounty point holders, will award one winner a place
in "The James Gang", as well as one of the four monthly grand
prizes. This prize package will be available during October,
November, December, and January, with the L.A Poker Classic
starting in February.
