re: EPT Berlin Armed Robbery

I understand that the robbers went straight for the cashier, and then the high rollers cash tables as it's cash only, and that was advertised. Could be wrong. Most sources say they got away with a lot of money.

re: EPT Berlin Armed Robbery

update from pokerstrategy (google translate)

Update 15:18:
The complete tournament area is still cordoned off. It seems the mass hysteria was reinforced by the fact that the perpetrators shouted "we have a bomb." Through the panic and the chips were thrown on the table confused.

re: EPT Berlin Armed Robbery

well the 800k might be wronge..

Update 15:01:
Earlier information about stolen money, something that the buy-ins do not seem to be correct and it is therefore assumed that the perpetrators withdrew without any loot. Nearly 1 million euros were in the treasury.
