I'm sure the people at PokerNews are more concerned with their well-being right now than getting out some updates. They'll be up to speed soon enough.

LOL, this (the pic above) is clearly a bank robbery or something, most likely on U.S. soil.

If the robbers said "Everyone fold, I got bullets" : they can't be German with that little touch of humor.

re: EPT Berlin Armed Robbery

google translate from a german site:

Police came after about ten minutes at the crime scene. First, only two police cars - rescue came. Only Mr Werthan was again in the play area, now it is closed to press. The players are waiting in the corridors and on the street. The mass hysteria was caused by the belief that it would be a massacre. This was reinforced by the fact because one of the perpetrators repeatedly shouted "We have a bomb."
In fact, the perpetrators were only interested in money. A security staff, it seems to have succeeded short-term, one of the culprits to overwhelm. But it seems that it is managed well this offender in the general chaos to escape.
Supposed to have the colleagues of Poker Today a part of the attack on video. We will publish the material as soon as possible. Jan Peter yacht man had much luck when he just walked up the aisle of the armed offenders stormed past him. Mr Mann yacht but escaped with a fright. According to unconfirmed reports the booty amounted to more than 800 000 €

re: EPT Berlin Armed Robbery

My girlfriend is working for PokerNews, so obviously I'm biased and a little defensive, but I do think we can forgive them for not updating as it sounds like it will have been a somewhat frightening experience for some people. She also just told me that she went outside after the incident but then wasn't let back in until just a few moments ago.

So some people were playing poker quite literally UTG.

Props to anyone who shouted out "I can dodge bullets baby!".
