Poker Pro's Car Broken into, Money Stolen in Broad Daylight Outside Las Vegas Restaurant

Poker player and former PokerNews editor Mo Nuwwarah says he was one of two victims of a car break-in outside an Italian restaurant in Las Vegas. And it's part of a string of similar incidents in the neighboring Chinatown district.

The Nebraska native told PokerNews he'd just arrived in town and his friend and fellow Mid-States Poker Tour (MSPT) champion, Josh Reichard, picked him up at the airport around 1:45 p.m. on the Fourth of July. Shortly after, the two headed to Roma Deli, a popular local restaurant owned by Poker Hall of Famer Todd Brunson, on Spring Mountain.

During lunch at Roma, the poker pros would have their meal interrupted by some unfortunate news.
