EPT Robbery – Poker Gone Nuts!

Day 4 of the European Poker Tour Saturday sure had an interesting twist. The PokerStars tournament, the prize totals of which are nearly €5 million, was robbed that afternoon by a group of 5 or 6 men who seized what is reported to be €800,000.

The tournament took place at the Grand Hyatt Hotel in Berlin. The security guard fended the burglars off and possibly saved the tourney from losing the remaining prize cash. This can all be seen on the following video:

No one was seriously injured. The tourney resumed shortly after the incident. An investigation is underway.
