Always wondered how long it would be before this happened.

Robberies have been happening at American home games quite frequently but I never thought it"d happen on a tournament of this scale. Watching for a big winner after he"s been paid out then jumping him outside i"ve always thought was likely. Without some kind of inside knowledge from the hotel how on earth would they know where the prize money was kept though, surely it wasn"t just piled up in the poker room or anywhere near the poker room for security?! It should have been in a safe, well away from the main room. Looking forward to hearing more details of this.

 looks like it could be an inside job, because 2 of the guards were on a break at that time, and the robbers probably knew this.
I think im gonna take up armed robbery and organised crime now. Looks like i can make more than i can from playing poker.  Does anyone want to work with me?
