Man, if you thought the week after Christmas held a dearth of interesting poker news, you would be astounded by how little there is on offer this week. So, here we have for you a story of dubious relevance and scant details.

Some guy from New York named Bryant Down beat up some other unnamed guy from an unnamed place while in the Poker Room at Foxwoods Casino. The recipient of the beat down was sent to the hospital and treated for an injured right elbow and bruises to his face. Downs was charged with second-degree assault and breach of peace. His bond was set at $5,000 and was scheduled to appear today in New London Superior Court.

That's it, that's all we've got. No salacious details about why they were fighting. No idea if they were actually playing poker, just that they were in the poker room. However, based on the litany of bad calls we've seen go down in poker rooms like this the world over, the guy probably hit his two-outer on the river to take Down's money and got what he deserved.

Not that we're in a bitter violence-condoning mood right now or anything, but how could he make that call? Seriously, two outs and one of them hit. Damn it.
