GERMAN POKER ROBBERY CAUGHT ON CAMERA

The fact that all that cash was lying around in a hotel with only a few guards looking after it will have no doubt given some people some idea,s.Poker is huge at the moment with every major city in the world holding huge live poker events with huge amounts of prize money just lying around waiting to be won or stolen.1 million Euro,s is a lot of money but some of these tournaments have a lot more money than that for the winners and without the major security that banks have there are fears that live poker events will become a target for future heists.

So either poker tournament organizers will have to start investing in heightened security measures or they will have to start handing out check,s to future winners.With the world wide recession set to continue way into 2010 it will be no big surprise if we don,t see a few more copy-cat robberies over the next few months.
