It's someone's Aria souvenir now after they realized they couldn't cash them in. He/she really didn't think things though in that moment of creed. Sad, there are always those out there waiting for any chance to steal. Get a job!!

In the past, thieves were punished by cutting their hand(s). A new law like this would stop theft with 99% but politicians don't want that... because they are ranked 2nd in this world of offenders from that planet. Humanity does not take action for normality.

Posted by antonis321: That'ss very interesting dule-vu , good to know , but still i don't like so much the idea, but if they allow it , probably it's of no concern for security reasons . Also I do not get why sb would take the chips and not the money on his way to home , not time to do it at night , going to play again tomorrow ??? who knows .
you have regular players who will play every day,so why he would spend time to change chips every time when he come,when he just seat on chair and to play!it same when he will change them,it also money and same value! you also have people,especially tourists who love to have something from casino and they collect this chips,so they dont chage them on end and take to home for example chips with 100 $ value!

Yes dule vu , if he is tp pl;ay again in some hours , cause he is a regular player on this casino , cashing the chips all the time , every time , would be pointless . As ;long as they have good security measures , so as to be protected from chips forgery , they have nothing to be afrid of , they can allow customers/players to take the chips with them , then come back and play anytime they want , that's very convinient for their players

He has many evidence for police to do their job and retrieve his casino chips. It is important that this story ends well for Daniel Negreanu's friend. There is no need procrastinate. I don't understand why that casino which has influence does not pressure authorities.

only thing that can help is to have video from camera!in any other way they dont have a single evidence and they cant to anything this person,but some member just cant understand that!even daniel and his friend dont know who is that person and didnt see him,so how would police find him without any video or picture?

These 25k chips are a lot of money for sure . Every chips to cost $25K , that's crazy !! They should add additional security measures (if it's possible) to casino chips of such value . Might sound silly , but couldn't they have inserted a tiny microchip in them , maybe spot them with technology , they are bery expensive these chips , they should have something more to protect customers from thieves...............

Daniel Negreanu's friend is probably a professional poker player and at this level it is normal to have more valuable chips. You can't bother with small fish for little money, and these sharks are always trying to reach the tops...

dule-vu The news say ''A friend of mine just had a significant amount of 25k aria chips and some 5k arias stolen from them'' and ''A friend of Alaei's had lost $725k of the $25k chips, though nothing was mentioned about the 5k ones'' So that means he lost a lot of money , most in $25K chips , I think I understand correctly
Anyway , $25K for for a normal person , with not big income or great pker skillls , is a lot of money to lose . But for a pro or good reg at a casino , the loss of not just one $25K chp , but many of them I do not think it will destroy his poker career , have anyvery bad consequence in is real life matters , I think he will go on playng and living , I wish hm to find the thief and punish him in the most appropriate harsh way , especially if he's sb he knew or know , one of his circle of known ''trusted'' people

In connection with this thing something needs to be done because it is not normal. A law that prevents all players from leaving the casino with chips is the most appropriate. For example, he leaves them at the cashier's office in the evening and next day find them there.

Did he lost this chips while he was at the table,I don't just understand how it went missing... If truly the chips was been stolen,it would be difficult to get the culprit cos he could sell it to someone who is innocent.

hay que tener mucho cuidado con esas cosas, siempre uno hay que estar atentos a uestra fichas cuando jugamos en vivo, e igual cuando jugamos online debemos estar atentos en que salas jugamos

People do weird things and you can't know what to expect from them. When you know about those chips have monitoring... then you can't start stealing. The idea had to be thought about, but some thiefs are not familiar with technology.

A pity that this has happened in a pokercasino, that says a lot about the security of the casino and the respect it has for its customers in this case for its players, we must take into account which casinos we frequent, in addition to which players should not give the entrance to it they should review them before entering, so that it does not happen again.

I didn't find out what happened with this friend of Daniel Negreanu. Were the thieves caught? or good work could not be done by police, because of Covid 19 and election for presidency of United States of America. Something needs to be done to recover damages.
