Organizers of a poker tournament that the state says is illegal may be headed for a high-stakes showdown with regulators.

The Chez Paree, a business in this western Iowa town, hosted three days of gambling last weekend, and said the 10-week Texas Hold 'Em tournament would continue this weekend, with up to 200 players expected. But the Chez Paree is gambling that it won't be prosecuted, because Pottawattamie County Attorney Matt Wilber has told organizers he thinks what they are doing is legal.
