Chinese veteran rocker Wang Feng (L) denied attending a poker tournament that was suspended for involving illegal gambling.

    The ongoing 2015 China (Jiangsu) Poker Championship was suspended by Nanjing police after allegedly involving illegal gambling activities.

    According to the current investigation, the championship is under suspicion because participants are allowed to purchase multiple chips.

    More than a thousand people and nearly 8 million yuan (US$1.3 million) are said to be involved.(SD-Agencies)
