Venetian Boycott Leads to $27K Overlay

The Venetian Casino’s Lucky Shot series took a $30,000 hit the other day following an organized boycott of poker players.

From PokerTube.com:

As we reported recently, the Sheldon Adelson-owned Venetian introduced a highly-dubious prizefund whereby any buy-in money paid above a certain amount would go straight to the cardroom rather than players.

A video was released with the headliner "Rake Trap".
