They've cut the feed off.

Jon has told me that there was flashing and lights went out.A door opened up and they all legged it.

He wasn't there but some friends of his has piled into his room.

5 armed men came and robbed the casino cashier I believe, im guessing ept will have to be reset to start of 24 and the highroller/1k will be cancelled, but everyones redic shook up

Everyone that i know is safe as all they wanted was money, they didnt raid the actual casino, the ept buyins etc are handled in the hotel on 1st floor just outside where all the ept events were played

this is seriously fked up and may have to consider early flight home

Lets hope nobody got shot.

Dunno what to say... rumours flying about that a security guard got shot in the head, he had one of the robbers and they shot the guard to get him back... could be typical 2+2 bs. Either way that is so ****ed up that 5 guys can do something like that and get away by the sounds of it.

Really stunned tbh, guess we forget the crazy sums of money flying about in poker.
