First, that 250,000 estimate is by the casinos, and is just a guess, they don't seem to offer any proof in the article to back that up, just the one night total that is accurate. Second, it's correct that the house lost nothing on this, just the players at the table, since the house gets a rake out of every single pot (or, if this is no-limit poker, they just earn an hourly rate, no rake at all, and many casinos in the UK don't let you even tip the dealers). Finally, I'm sure they had to pay back to money in response to #4.
