Some basics trickling in: Raid went down about 9 pm. Aces was in the middle of an 8-table tourney … with a few tables of cash games and sit-n-go\’s running. About 10 people got carted away in handcuffs — dealers and room operators — and close to 70 or 80 players (# not confirmed) got $125 $150 $145 tickets. And there were two sets of cameras … one belonging to the show \”Dallas SWAT\” (on A&E), the other apperently the DPD\’s own video equipment.
So to some extent, poker\’s popularity on TV had much to do with this bust, as it will certainly be a ratings boon for the Dallas PD\’s prize new show. Raises an interesting 21st Century question … about law enforcement driving TV vs. TV driving law enforcement.

Meanwhile, Dallas poker players are left wondering if they\’ll receive 17 emails from Aces tomorrow telling us how hot the action is.
UPDATE: $40k reportedly got confiscated.
