Turns out it\’s true … while we were all abuzz about police poker raids last month, there was not only the attempted robbery that we already told you about, but also there was an actual robbery just a few days later in Dallas proper* — and this time the armed bad guys were successful.
Pokerati\’s \”facts\” are still fuzzy … perhaps we\’ll get some more right here. What we do know is that the victims were at a $5/$10 game located somewhere along what many of us have called \”Poker Row\” or the \”Dallas Poker Corridor.\” The perpetrators were two black males (as was the case in the foiled robbery above), and one of them put a shotgun to the face of whomever answered the door — I believe it was a woman. From there they barged in and took somewhere around $7,000 (an extremely rough number based on the typical size of this game) … and as far as we currently know, police were not called.
Perhaps these robbers are just building their bankrolls for the WSOP?
*NOTE: It is Pokerati\’s editorial policy to not name poker rooms in Texas unless the operators are overtly public about it and/or it has been shut down. Ahh, remember the good ole days when they used to buy ads?
