RE: Stick Up at Sahara

While I was away from the web space for a family visit in St. Louis, the guy who robbed the Sahara poker room on the Las Vegas Strip likely spent the holidays hoping no one recognized his mug from the photos released by LV Metro Police.

According to the Las Vegas Sun, he did use a firearm when robbing the Sahara on December 19th and escaped on foot. He was described as follows:

The gunman was described as white and about 20 to 30 years old with a thin mustache and thin build. He was wearing blue jeans, a brown cap, a brown or green hooded sweatshirt with lettering down the left side and a yellow ballcap, authorities said.

Yikes, if Metro has ever been in a poker room, they know that description alone will get them nowhere, as it sounds like two-thirds of players in any given room!

    Maybe I’m not the best alibi, but on the 19th, Dan met Aunt Sue and me at the Mirage pretty close to 6.

    Look for a loose player that thinks he is unluckly. The picture looks like a whiner and a slow roller. He probably entered a poker tournament right after the robbery or set in higher than usual in a cash game. He’ll be telling bad beat stories in that hat.
