The fine folks at LasVegasVegas are reporting that a 25-year old poker professional was caught marking cards and arrested. This is, of course, all rumor at this point; and I do, of course, have calls in to try and get someone to spill the beans. You heard anything Shrinky? I'm trying to think of all the 25-year old pros I know, and I only know of one.... who does tend to play at the Wynn a lot... and I haven't called him yet, so, uhh... maybe I should do that.
UPDATE: PokerShrink writes in with a link to the aptly named PokerParty Blog, which has an alleged name for alleged cheater. We'll update if/when we find out anything more.
Las Vegas casino mogul Steve Wynn was a happy man ... showing off an original Picasso (Le Reve, 1932) that he had just agreed to sell for $139 million -- "the most money ever paid for a painting," he bragged. Then, as he was telling a group of onlookers the artwork's storied history and pointing out its phallic imagery ... his arm went into the air and his elbow went right through it. Put a hole the size of a silver dollar in the middle of Picasso's mistress's forearm. Yeow.
