London, Dec 30 (ANI): It seems that the high-stakes poker game in Bond flick 'Casino Royale' was not enough for baddie Mads Mikkelsen, for he's now landed in a soup after allegedly taking part in a illegal poker tournament.

Mikkelsen reportedly got into trouble in his native Denmark after the card game in Copehagen's Club Dakota where he defeated other professional gamers, even using a hand of two jacks, the same with which his character Le Chiffre defeated Bond in 'Casino Royale'.

However, it seems that like in the movie, the actor will be on the losing side once again, for even though there were no cash prizes, he now faces a fine because the club allegedly broke licensing rules.

A source revealed that the actor, as well as other players were astounded that the police were taking the game seriously, for there was no money involved in it.

"He only went to the tournament for fun. No one can believe the police are taking it seriously. It was a lighthearted cards game with no money involved. This is a total joke," The Sun quoted the source, as saying.
