The PokerStars European Poker Tour became the victim of a robbery Saturday when as many as six armed men stormed the Grand Hyatt Berlin where EPT Berlin is being held. Panic struck at the event when four masked men raided the hotel with two others standing guard outside just after 2 p.m. local time. Berlin tabloid B.Z. has reported as much as €800,000 was stolen before the culprits took off across the Marlene-Dietrich-Platz in front of the hotel blending into the crowd at the nearby Potsdamer Platz Arcades. Although none were seriously hurt, the newspaper claims as many as eight security personnel suffered minor injuries.
PokerStars released the following statement.
“An armed robbery by 5-6 men took place today at EPT Berlin.” The statement reads. “Nobody was seriously injured. We hope to restart all events at 4 p.m. local time. A police investigation is underway. If you have video footage or photographs that could help the police, please contact the EPT organizers as soon as possible.”
A stampede of players and floor staff running for safety was seen on the EPT Live broadcast before play was suspended.
There were approximately 22 players left in the event when the incident occurred.
Tournament staff was in the process of verifying chip counts in attempt to restart the event just before 6 p.m. in Berlin.
