Two guns beats four aces: armed robbers hit Paris poker tournament

2 hours, 43 minutes ago

PARIS (AFP) - Two armed men staged a daring heist at a world poker tournament on the Champs-Elysees in Paris, making off with 76,000 euros (94,000 dollars) in cash after forcing players to lie on the ground, police said.

The pair, both wearing ski-masks, escaped by stealing a truck and then a car, officers added.

They stole the vehicles after losing the keys to the motorbike they had arrived on during the robbery, they said. The truck was later found in a poor suburb north of the capital.

The robbery occurred early Tuesday as players were sitting through the final day of a World Poker Tour tournament taking place in a chic private club on the Champs-Elysees avenue.

Default Come up with the best Sexton-ism for this....

So if a WPT event gets hit by armed robbers, and they escape, did they " NOT get caught with their hand in the cookie jar"?
