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.

[bjpennnn]

for sure they did a good job. beats the 9-5

Damn there goes that idea, now I've gotta think of another. I'm gonna keep looking for A. A lot of money, B. lax security . How about a horse track?
