68-year-old professional poker player Al Krux was arrested this week and charged with first-degree criminal possession of marijuana outside his Syracuse, New York home.  His son Adam was also charged.

Krux’ lifetime earnings playing live poker are just over $1.3 million.  He has made the World Series of Poker Main Event final table on three occasions.  His biggest earnings came just at the start of the poker boom online when the WSOP prize pool increase resulted in a $600,000 cashout in 6th place. 

The father and son were arraigned and held on $20,000 bail.
