PARIS - Two armed men staged a daring heist at a world poker tournament on the Champs-Elysees in Paris on Tuesday, 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.

'Hey Barney, I see one of the gunmen holding a part of the gun.....can you expain that for us!?.

Certainly Jesse, thats what's known as the trigger. The masked gunman presses that to release whats known as a bullet, down the chamber of the gun, towards the players. That gets the action going.

Thanks Barney, and with 6 bullets in that gun there's plenty to play for already....'

Hate to be pernickety but the bullet doesn’t travel down the chamber. It travels from the chamber and down the barrel.

I also fcuking love guns.

Yes. You're absolutely right. And now you've ruined our fun. I hope you're proud of yourself.

Jesse May is part of the 3 man commentary team. Mike and Vince cover the show from the studio. Barny Boatman, unfortuantely, only features on LNP

I mean to ruin no one's fun, sure look at it this way....Now you can do it all over again except this time use Mike Sexton and "Hollywood heart throb" Vince Van Paten's phrases. You can even include the beautiful Shana Hiatt..... ;-)

Shana Hiatt *drool*. She is the ultimate poker hottie.

The girls from Casino Casino aren't half bad either. Phooaar!
