    Poker Professional Joe Sal Claims He Was Robbed at Gunpoint Exiting WSOP in Las Vegas

    https://www.casino.org/news/poker-pr...d-exiting-wsop

    Joe Sal, a self-described professional poker player, said the incident occurred at 5:05 am this morning outside the Caesars Entertainment casino resort. “Scariest moment of my life,” he tweeted.

    Frankly, I'm surprised it hasn't happened more often.

    It also happened at The Aussie Millions in 2008 when I was there playing in the event.

    Problem is now others will report they get robbed to pocket investors funds.

    Claimed they took $10,000 which was his main event entry. Why would he leave the RIO with the $10,000 in cash if it's purpose was for the main event? He could have already bought in before leaving.

    Casino security is to protect themselves, not the patrons. Have heard that others were robbed as well this series. Not good.

    "Vegas is pure trash"

    "Poker player with $500 to his name"

    "Professional poker player is the silliest title of all time"

    Looks like ol' Happy Go Lucky JJ is once again doing his best to add positive substance to the forum.

    And btw, professional poker player is not as silly a title as Saloon Moderator.

    Maybe carrying 5 figures cash in a backpack isn’t the brightest thing to do. Can’t they have like police escorts or something?

    Rio not ghetto at all

    Vigs you know nothing about Vegas

    Ghetto maybe streets around stratosphere , Wild West even right near strip have to be on your toes but not a bad area

    Silver Sevens so so, Jerry's Nugget be careful

    Streets around Karen Ave be careful, Westgate so so

    Boulder Highway East be careful,,Eastside Cannary area

    Parts of Nellis area be careful

    Downtown Vegas a few rough spots

    Lettered streets tough, Parts of North Vegas rough

    Vegas only small portion of rough areas unlike many other major Cities

    How can you pay backers a % from your winnings, if you claim winnings were stolen?
