The Main Event of the World Series of Poker is set to start in a few days, and thousands of players who have won their seat online are beginning to trickle into town. By the middle of this week, the trickle will be a flood, and the Rio (which was uncommonly empty this weekend) will soon be swarming with players, their families, and their fans.

Many of those players will be walking into and out of the Rio with huge wads of cash in their pockets, and word around the Rio today is that Harrah's security outside the building (like in the parking lots) isn't especially great.

According to Jason "Spaceman" Kirk, Lilly Mizrachi was robbed at gunpoint last night while heading to her car in the parking lot. I haven't been able to verify the rumor, but I have seen countless hustlers, scam artists, con men, and other scum of the earth prowling around the Rio since I've been here.

If you're coming to the World Series, make sure you protect more than just your cards, everyone.
