Related Topics: Houston, California, Johnny Chan

A security guard at Legends Poker Room in Houston may have prevented a dangerous situation by tackling, and with the help of others, pinned an alleged armed robber down before the incident escalated.

Trelynn Robinson, known as "Tek" to locals, wasn't fazed when a man entered the building at around 1:30 a.m. Monday morning carrying an AR-15. The alleged suspect announced to the more than 40 patrons that he was robbing the place.

Robinson, however, wasn't about to allow an armed robber to force his will upon the business he's paid to protect.
