All the Money's on the Table?

It may not be at big poker tournament finales anymore, after what happened this weekend in Berlin. An organized group of robbers reportedly stormed into the event, and stole tens of thousands of Euros which was destined for the winner.

Let's be honest here: don't big poker events put the money front-and-center at a final table to get your covetous nature going? The very thing the Bible warns against, in verses such as Romans 13:9?

But it's really no different from a loan office commercial -- the ads offering needy people much smaller amounts of dollar bills.

Are poker events inherently dangerous? Not if the organizers take proper security precautions. Remember, there's also plenty of cash around every time you visit the national bank.
