I heard about this in brief last week, now there is a detailed article on the events. It happened at Jimmy's Pro Billiards, owned and run by pro player Jimmy Wetch. From all accounts he runs a nice family-friendly room and this incident was very out of place, which is a great shame:

There's also a great interview with Mr. Wetch from last year here:

Favorite quote: "Betting on games was the only way for an amateur to make money. "We all gambled back then," Wetch said. He says it with just a hint of confession, like a smoker who picked up the habit before he knew the dangers."
