EPT Berlin stop has just been robbed by six gunmen with machine guns. It is alleged that they have made off with less than a million Euros from the poker tournament. One of the guards was injured trying to capture one of the robbers. It seems everyone is okay except for the guard who was injured in the head. Panic and chaos ensued throughout the tournament as seen in the video below.

wow...i thought these casinos and cardrooms are protected by tons of security and the actual money (if it's not vaulted up and is being used to show off) is surrounded by extra men with guns. good article diamond.

Wow, that's some crazy shit. I'm guessing they don't do it like the WSOP there, with a bunch of guards with big guns? They might wanna re-think that...

According to sources they had just started the 10000 euro payin tournament, so they probably knew the schedule very well.

Amazing how everyone's being a pussy with their camera and doesn't help the security guard when he has the one guy down...

[diamond]

Wondering if the player that ran away from the table would be considered folding?

[fsugolf]

I wonder how they handled all hands that were in progress....

[blueghost]

Probably some guys on the inside connected to it.
