Wow. That was pretty incredible. And sad all at the same time. It's like all the folks who were losing tons of money would not admit there was any problem.

And I kept wondering how those high rollers could trust a guy like Richard Wilk. That dude is a snake oil salesman. Alan says at the beginining that Richard has his back and won't let him lose too much. But at the end, Richard says his only job is to keep people at the tables as long as possible, regardless of whether they're winning or losing.

Notice they didn't step foot inside a poker room?

On a side not, my wife and I were at the Hilton in Vegas this past October. I won about $300 or so playing Hold'em at Bally's and Caesar's. Then I got a $25 promotional chip at the Hilton for signing up on a players card. My wife and I took it to the Black Jack tables and won $650, then left for the airport. It was awesome.
