But what they were escorted out for, that is up for debate.

These are guys that play $4000/8000 limit poker. They could easily have just had $1M+ cash on them at the moment that they were taking out of the casino for some reason rather than putting in their box. If that were the case, an escort is standard.

i was just about to post the same thing.

i'm sure all the players who are in the "big game" get escorted out of the casino to their vehicles.

i know i wouldn't want to walk through a casino being known as playing the highest stakes possible in the city, especially if i was 60-70 years old.

Hi pro:

I played at The Bellagio on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday nights. If something like this concerning collusion would have happened, I would have heard of it. My guess is that if they were escorted out, it was done so at their request.

Best wishes,
Mason

Brunson and Reese were ecorted off of table 1 and out of the bellagio this week.

No rumor. It's confirmed.

Thank you for that detailed confirmation.

This same rumor was posted here a few weeks ago, also "confirmed". So, despite that, the Bellagio let them back in, and they got caught cheating again, right? The Bellagio floor probably didn't recognized them. They may have been wearing disguises.

Posting this kind of obvious rumor without facts to back it up is irresponsible and clueless.

Claiming this rumour was "confirmed" without backing it up is scummy. I think the moderator should consider whether this offense is worth a ban...

I've looked over some of his previous posts - it wouldn't hurt the forum in the slightest - half troll/half numbskull - (a reverse reraise where you pull back your bet if you're reraised - LOL - yah, that's allowed in every major casino <snort> - but he does it all the time)

In OP's defense, what he claimed was confirmed was the fact that they left the casino with escorts.

normally esp for players of doyle and reese's caliber there sessions unless on a losing or bad night will prob start at say 8-10pm and run till about 3-5am or until the game breaks (which can be quite a while) now both of these players are playing huge stakes and are getting kind of elderly.

so 60-70 year old man, walking to his car in the dark parking lot of a casino (full of desparate and broke addicited gamblers) at 4-5am with a couple hundred grand.....id ask for an escort as well

id ask for a full swat team if i had potentially up to a 500k in a cardboard box or breifcase or whatever i could possibly be carrying
