It was six robbers, PokerStars have confirmed it.

Pretty unreal they only had three guards who were unarmed, shocking really. That much money they should have a whole team of security...

well i haven't really followed the story too closely but some reports say three secruity guards and others say up to eight last time I checked.

Anyway least no-one was seriously injured, could have been a lot of sad families

They probably hadn't figured out how to pass this cost on to affiliates.

I think EPT not really lost much, the sponsors have the money for this tournament
