College students gathered their classmates to play Texas Hold'em and were charged with operating a gambling den.

Prior to this, the Nanjing police in Jiangsu received reports from residents in the area that there was loud noise late at night coming from the upstairs unit disturbing the peace. The police went to the home of a certain Mr. Shao and found that he had gathered 6 classmates and friends to play Texas Hold'em poker for gambling, with the gambling equipment purchased from a second-hand platform. They seized tens of thousands of yuan of gambling money on the spot. The police suspected that Mr. Shao was guilty of running a gambling establishment and transferred him to the prosecutor's office for review and prosecution. However, because Mr. Shao is a first-year university student, it was his first offense, the amount involved in the gambling was low, and the social harm was minimal, the prosecutor's office decided not to prosecute relatively lightly.
