    Poker game robbed on live TV

    I'm no Butch Cassidy, but I have a pretty solid theory as to which circumstances are most likely to be in place upon an armed robbery: lots of cash and/or lax security. Banks fit the former, convenience stories the latter.

    But where does, say, a poker tournament fit in? Organizers of the European Poker Tour event in Berlin found out this afternoon, as six men armed with machine guns reportedly waltzed into the ballroom of the Grand Hyatt, where card players were competing for large sums of cash. The gunmen apparently made off with one million Euros.

    As for the security? Were there cameras or anything?

    Well, there was a TV crew. Because the tournament was being broadcast on television. Live.

    Ir was bold but they are at large and they are not on video. And they have a million in unmarked cash. If robbery is your ting they did a good job.

    Your aware LE view and post on these public forums are you?

    A joke or not, your post can be viewed as something more sinister.
