“On Sunday, a pair of masked men — one wielding a shotgun and the other, a pistol — forced their way into a house in the Fair Oaks area where a tournament was being held, police said. Police said they have not had any other reports of Hold ‘Em holdups.”

So how did the robbers find the game they burgled? The idiot host passed word of his game beyond his inner circle using the Internet. Always a good idea to advertise the thousands of dollars you’ll be passing around the room with no security present.
