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 reportedly armed with Kalashnikov assault rifles and hand grenades 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.
