Thats in my part of the world.

Ugly story; some innocent people got caught in a drug and gang hit.

Watching most of these pro players who are ****ing nerds makes me want to quit poker.....
It's a disgrace that they run away with the money. They don't even know what to do with those millions.

Not if your talking about the $$$ he just won.

The police requested that his prize money be froze and the casino complied. Not sure how that happened but Im sure they said it would increase his flight risk. But if he already won then I think the casino needs to kick up the loot.

Playing and winning this tournament wasnt the smartest way to keep a low profile lol...

Good for the families that are now without loved ones.

Too bad he had to be a poker player.
