Massive panic on LV strip as reports of active shooter at several casinos send people tramping each other to exit, WSOP in shambles

[Sloppy Joe]

I suspect Vanessa is lying. Her story seems to be very dramatic but one thing notice that when telling her story, it is edited at a key moment? Who does that when you're giving a heart to heart social media posting in the heat of the moment? Why would you? Lol..... hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Well whatever glad she is ok. I laugh at this but I am glad no one was hurt. (well significantly at least)

"electric firecrackers" lol new one to me. Like Electric Bugalo

I still didn't hear how this was all resolved. I guess I could search around twitter more but figure someone here knows ?

So just for anyone in a similar situation. Maybe it is better to get out of a room like that and on to somewhere like the strip but TBH if you never hear a shot or hear 1 at the most and after a bit you don't hear a second shot then it PROBABLY is not a mass shooting and you PROBABLY shouldn't trample each other running out the fucking door.

Or pull a Dan Blizerian and whine to a security guard to give you his gun.. lmao

Don't fuck with Vanessa Kade brother, she already has a body count of PFA members and we can't handle more.

Maybe she's just flakey. All her details that don't really seem confirmed by others. Truck peeling out.. heard a shot.. but the real issue is how she fell down, could not get up, then someone stopped the crowd. If crowd won't stop for woman laying on ground not getting up how did some dude? Seems like a lot of made-up drama. Anyway I am a bit suspect and then I see the edit at the key moment. I rewound it a couple times to make sure it wasn't a network glitch.

Almost as if she decided she needed to keep her story straight.................

Which PFA members has she taken out?

Is she the REAL electric firecracker?

Anyway, the point was not to go after her. Who cares but what happened to the tournament? I try to read about that and it isn't readily covered. I'd need to delve into other poker forums but who the fuck wants to do that???

Could be a great way to freeroll.

Stay ahead of the game folks.

She is always full of drama.

However, with that said, I don't think she was lying here. I think it's possible her mind played tricks on her during all the panic. That's very common in stressful situations.

She later named the guy who picked her up (Eddie Sabat, a semi-known player), so I doubt she would've done that if the whole thing was a tale. She probably really did fall, and Eddie probably did witness it and quickly help her up. Maybe the way it was described was exaggerated, but this probably really happened in some form.

I think her firecrakers and pickup truck thing is just incorrect. Clearly the whole thing started because one middle-aged, poor man's Bradley Cooper wanted to get back at the MGM for "disrespecting" him earlier in the day. There's no way that he coordinated with large groups of teenagers to drive around and set off firecrackers in other casinos. How the word spread down the strip and caused the panic is a mystery, but I think it was just a matter of everyone getting spun up, and then every little loud noise was triggering to people who were on edge. I really think there's not much to see here.

Fair enough. I'm not exactly following her around just saw her thing interjected but was slightly suspicious then it leads into the edit placed right at her telling of the action. Thats what you do when you are an influencer.

Anyway so how was this all resolved? There appears to be some poker media cover-up and i'm too lazy to look around much.

Huge story out of the Vegas strip right now.

First a glass door shattered at MGM, and it was believed that there was an active shooter. People panicked, took cover, and scambled out the the street, some trampling one another.

But it didn't stop there. Reports of active shooters quickly spread to other casinos -- Aria, New York New York, Paris, Bally's, and several others.

In the Paris ballroom where the WSOP was taking place (the Main Event was already over earlier in the day), they were discussing the rumors about the MGM shooting, and all of a sudden loud "pops" were heard somewhere in or near the ballroom. Everyone simultaneously stood up, ran for the exits, and trampled one another. Most of these players were in Day 1B of "The Closer" -- an event I played earlier today, but busted early thanks to a super cooler. I was off-strip and not present for any of this, but I'm still in Vegas.

Daniel Negreanu got trampled and his hand looks really ugly right now:

Michael Trivett seemed to have taken a semi-serious leg injury while being trampled:

Vanessa Kade was almost trampled, as she went down and couldn't get back up, but some dude saw it, blocked the crowd, and got her up:

Tables were partially overturned, and chip stacks mixed together during the panic:





And the shooter? What was the story with him? Continued next post...
