Poker pro Jeff Madsen appeared to have been banned from this year’s World Series of Poker after Rio Casino security officials removed him from the property for possession of marijuana.

Madsen claimed on his Twitter account that he had taken some cannabis into a WSOP PLO event to throw into the “pot”, so to speak.

On Sunday, Madsen declared he would be playing in the Main Event after all.

He had earlier tweeted:

whoaaa turns out i was pretty stoned and misheard security -- i actually got 87'd from the Rio -- which means i get free buffet for LIFE woo

Madsen also claimed he was arrested and permitted to keep his drugs. He also admitted to being in possession of Meth.

Madsen is best known for being the third-youngest winner of a World Series of Poker event and the 2006 World Series of Poker Player of the Year.
