How to make $50K at the WSOP

An unknown apparently flew straight in to Vegas yesterday to play in the main event and at one of the breaks decided he needed to visit the bathroom.

We are assuming he needed a number two as he then proceeded to take off his money belt which was around his waist and hung it on the back of the bathroom door. The announcer then said over the PA that the break was over and to make your way back to your seat, so he did. When he got back to his seat he probably went to the toilet again (in his trousers) as he realised that he had left his $750,000 bankroll hanging on the back of the toilet door. No, that is not a mis-spelling, $750,000!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

After getting back to the toilet and finding it gone he visited the nearest security guard who announced it to the whole tournament that someone had lost their bankroll (no numbers were given) and that if anyone handed it in they would get a reward. It turns out that a very honest man had already handed it in at another security booth and the man who had lost it proceeded to give him a $50,000 reward!

I'm kinda wondering how he left close to a million dollars in the bathroom, I don't care what kind of hurry I am in there is no way I would forget that.

is the story even real? I mean , come on...who "forgets" $750K in the [censored] restroom

That's one big money belt if it's holding 750k. Sure it wasn't a duffle bag?

I would have pocketed like 25G, then turned it in.

Both parties in this rule.

I'd keep the money but return the fanny pack. I'm big like that.
