So basically 5 masked/armed robbers raided the Berlin Casino cashier..

NHFunkii · 03-06-2010, 08:28 AM

Yeah it's fine now police are everywhere people said no one hurt, I didn't hear any gunshots

Aguskb · 03-06-2010, 08:29 AM

wow...cant wait to hear the details of this

Matt Malone · 03-06-2010, 08:29 AM

Who said we were terrorists?

kokolore$ · 03-06-2010, 08:31 AM

2 or 3 guys with masks and knives.
But anyway. When someone shouted something in the tournament area.
A few people started running and so suddenly EVERYONE just ran for their lives outside.

This obviously escalated the whole situation.

'there was absolute chaos in the tourney area, I'd be very surprised if the EPT can continue at all even if people calm down and would like to continue playing, because it is just impossible to get the correct chipcounts again... '

when i was registering for the main a couple days ago my buddy and i were actually thinking how absurdly easy it would be for some badass with a gun to rob this place.
at that time they had tons of money laying on a desk behind the registration counter with no security around except for those regular security guys.
ofc they cant have guns on them (not america) and i doubt that the ept would get some police asinged to protect the tourney throughout the week. so there really isnt much stopping people from robbing it.
4.7m pricepool is much more than most bank branches have in them and banks are way harder to rob than this place imo. at least it would take longer.

wow so wow. im sitting here and am in awe how sick this is.

Ok.

The story from my point of view.

We're sitting in the press room, doing our job, when suddenly I see some of the staff running around the hall.

Firs reaction: lol tag?

THen I see the face of one of the women who looks... shocked/scared.

She shouts there's a raid/fight or something.
As we're not expecing something serious a few of the guys go out to look whats happening.

As soon as I see them quicckly turn back. Running for their lives to get into the press room. I'm like: wtfff sick. Someone says he saw masks, and guns...

Next thing I see on the live stream is people also running, panicking and the live stream being interrupted.

Anyway it looks like nothing too bad happend.
There's a lot of broken glass lying around, but it looks like noone got hurt...

more info coming
