Guy starts to take off and staff practically shrugs when I ask them to call security.
I chase down security get them to catch him. They want to just let him go and call it good because I got purse back. The guy clearly expected to be let go as well.
I insist they need to at least ban him from property. They tell me if I want to pursue it I should call metro.
Turbo tournament has restarted at this point. I'm asking can they call for me. Finally , they call surveillance confirm guy straight up lifted my purse and 86 him
Security keeps asking me to get up from tournament to answer questions, I'm asking dealer to explain to them that will cost me tournament and it's all on video.
At one point, guard bizarrely asks me my TR status. I said Platinum, he asks to see card, and I accidentally pulled out old gold one. He comments that it's not Platinum,, and I pull out right one. Then he asks if I am guest of hotel? I guess I didn't " rank."
Anyway after tournament, I try to talk to poker room manager about total indifference and was told supervisor didn't know about it. Not responsible for player property,etc but did want to reprimand the guy who wouldn't call security if I could identity him.
I wasn't looking to get a specific person in trouble, just pointing out that if the situation were more serious, I would hope the staff would be able to quickly and reflexively call security. And would at least inform management when something like this happens.
