WPT Armed Robbery?

in WSOP / WPT / EPT Discussion
This just in... found it on RGP. The news JUST came out so I don't know if it's true, but the link sure looks like the real deal. The final day of a WPT event in Paris happens today, and apparently, it got held up:

    I guess the thieves didn't get that much. They finished in the money, but not too deep in the money.

    Whoah. Wonder what the Sexton/Van Patten commentary will be like for that....


    :)
  • Josh FPJosh FP
    I wonder if they'll comment on it?
  • UnknownUnknown
    Hey Josh! Looks like we've BOTH been cheating on pokerforum!!! I'll look for your RGP posts in the future... As for whether or not they'll comment on it, what I find most interesting is the fact that they *should* have actual footage of it. There's no way any director would stop rolling during a robbery. The cameras may not have been manned at the time, but I would assume that they were rolling and that at least one of them was pointed in the general direction of the action.

    That would be interesting to see.

    in one of the articles it said that it didn't happen during the main tournament.


    "...at the time casino regulars were gambling and drinking during an interlude in the competition. "

    hork.

    ** Copied from RGP **

    made me laugh so..





    "Because of the WPT cam, Vince, we can see that the guy on the left is
    holding a .45 and the guy on the right is holding a .38."

    "Right you are Mike. And that .45 is a monster hand! The guy with the money
    bag in his hand has show tunes going off in his head."

    "As we say Vince, the whole room is 'under the gun'

    "Vince?

    "Ok Vince. Get out from behind Shauna."

    Vince - "and Gus Hansen has folded his pair of threes and is hiding under the table. What a laydown!"

    Mike - "You only see a hand like that once in a lifetime."
    Vince- "Right now the Star Spangled Banner is going off in his head."

    Here's a pun I've been cleverly crafting since last night. As most of you know, Surinder Sunar won that tournament in Paris. So...

    When the thieves came in...

    I guess you could say that everyone Surindered.

    I'll be here all week. Try the veal.

    I'd Suggest keeping your day job.

    I'll keep it for as long as they'll keep me! If I lose it, it's OK, because I am currently developing a reality show about a poker-playing comedian. (Me.) Who doesn't love a poker-playing comedian?!? ;)

    Say all_aces, when does this show go into production?

    Hopefully Sunar than later.

    bah dum pish!

    Thanks you, thank you, you've been great. Up next here at Zax, our very own Matt Dusk, followed by some random ho's doing... well... who cares what they're doing. Enjoy the show everyone!
