Thats crazy, to bad we weren't able to see more. I guess those guys got smart and found out its easier to steal the money than to go through over 5K people to win that amount of money. Well i'm sure they'll boost security next year, hope everyone came out safe. :)

How many robbers got caught? Nice pics above, bet the guy in the red jacket wasn't expecting to get caught by the man in the suit. :D

Still no reports from the big news stations.
These guys had been crazy to try to pull this off.

I saw the video, crazy stuff... am sure everyone had a good scare... wish I was there to see the faces of some of the pros... they would have been priceless... to see them run and scream like little girls ;-)

I was watching as it happened, pokerstars.tv just pulled the plug (obviously not serious journalists on their team), I thought it was a fire or bomb scare at the time. They announced nothing other than the broadcast was halted due to "technical difficulties" and that the tournament would restart shortly after an "unscheduled early break". They later announced play would resume tomorrow but gave no additional information

That's pretty scary. Robbing an establishment like that is quite a brazen act. Having said that, I can't say I'm completely surprised. The economy is still in bad shape (despite what the authorities would have you believe), and desperate people do desperate things. I hope no one was hurt and they catch all those thugs.

Holy shit, that's some scary stuff. Glad everyone came out alright.

Incidents like this are why online poker should be legalized in the US. No one has ever been robbed at gunpoint on an online gaming site.

Who in the world would want to be there or think it would be funny or priceless to see people who are worried about getting shot? Anyone who has ever had any experience with gun-toting scared and stupid thugs would know that's the last place you'd want to be.

For the record I have had no experience with it and I still know that is not the place to be, or is remotely funny no matter who may be in the situation.
