TUOLUMNE COUNTY, Calif. — A three-story houseboat sunk in a Tuolumne County lake during a poker event after the vessel became overloaded from too many people on one side, authorities said.
The houseboat, which was near the shore on Lake Don Pedro in the Mexican Gulch area, was being used Saturday as a check-in station for a poker run event, the Tuolumne County Sheriff's Office said.
At some point, too many people were on one side of the boat, causing it to tip over and take on water, the sheriff's office said. Photos shared by officials show more than half the houseboat submerged.
A pontoon boat tied to the side of the houseboat also capsized and sank.
Everyone was able to get off the vessel before the sheriff's office's boating enforcement unit arrived. No injuries were reported, the sheriff's office said.

For all of those that were planning to participate this weekend, the location has been moved. The registration/BBQ/party spot has been moved to 'White rock' behind the graveyard area. You can find Graveyard creek on most maps and it will be in the area where the creek hits the lake. Just look for a bunch of houseboats tied together. The houseboat named 'Patriot' is running the show. Big American flag painted on the side of the boat.
For those interested that haven't heard about it here's the details. And there is usually room to shore camp in that area.
