David Rheem: No legal trouble for WSOP final tabler

Following the media hype surrounding the November Nine who make up the final table of the main event of the World Series of Poker, it was revealed that one of the players, David Rheem, allegedly had an outstanding warrant for his arrest issued by the state of Florida.

That issue appears to now be cleared up, with Florida police confirming they won’t be seeking Rheem’s arrest. That’s the word from Lt. Marino of the Hollywood Police, who was quoted by Gambling911:

Lt. Marino of the Hollywood Police confirmed that the “trespassing” offense against Rheem first reported in the Sun Sentinel was not something that would lead his department to arrest the poker player during the WSOP live event. The charges were filed shortly after Mr. Rheem finished serving probation for an unrelated felony larceny conviction.

“There would be no reason for Florida to extradite David on this offense seeing that it’s considered a misdemeanor and was given a ‘notice to appear’ (ticket) which probably entailed some fines to pay,” Lt. Marino told Gambling911’s Jenny Woo.
