It was quite a shock to the poker industry to find out that one our it’s uprising stars has been arrested and is suspected of murder.
Sophon Sek, winner of last year’s British Columbia Poker Championship, is accused for taking part in the murder of 6 people on October 2007 as part of what some might refer to as Gang wars in British Columbia.

Sophon was arrested before even having the chance to collect his winning money. For now the money – $364,364, is being held for him by the RCMP.

We are waiting to hear news from the trial that has started on the end of November and is still in progress.

One of the victim’s mother has said in an interview that it’s about time “faith will be coming back to bite”. She express her grieve and anger about having to watch sophen going on with his life as if nothing happened, participating in poker tournaments and remaining cool enough to even win the game while the victims’ families are left to grieve and swallow their sorrow in silence.

Ironically enough, the bail for his release, 2 days ago, was $370.000, which is just about of all his winning money.
