With the amounts of money being gambled in that room, there is no wonder that tensions can reach boiling point and somebody snaps. I would love to know the exact amounts being won and lost each day.

Yes it is also strange to me like Mober say too that pomer players have bodyguards i dont k ow iff some guys need them because all people there are ruch and play for bug money and only casino security is needed so that players keep playing with the rules nothing more.
As it seems to me when playing for big money, the casino is obliged to provide at least a few guards in order not to allow such actions ...... I am sure that these problems arose of course because of the players but the casino is obliged to provide a solution to such problems

There must have been tens of millions of dollars at stake. Money is the topic many people argue passionately about. Sometimes argument gets too heated. And excessively fighting about money can affect our relationships in a negative way.

Hello my friends and felllow mobsters
Wow with such amounts of money involved the tension must be at high levels but the also needs to be more carefull and prevent those situations maybe more bouncers (the players may not like it )
When you play with "big dogs" you must pay attention to the teeth
They all will be back tomorrow
Stay cool and enjoy life
