Dramatic footage of Robbers entering the Berlin Casino

Mehrere bewaffnete Männer haben am Samstag ein Pokerturnier im Berliner Luxushotel “Grand Hyatt” am Potsdamer Platz überfallen. Die Maskierten hätten die Angestellten bedroht und die Herausgabe von Bargeld erzwungen, sagte ein Polizeisprecher auf ddp-Anfrage. Anschließend seien sie geflüchtet. Nach Angaben des Sprechers wurden mehrere Gäste des Turniers leicht verletzt, weil unter ihnen kurzzeitig Panik ausbrach. Zur Höhe der Beute machte die Polizei keine Angaben. Nach einem Bericht der Berliner Tageszeitung “BZ am Sonntag” sollen die Täter 800 000 Euro erbeutet haben. Die Männer waren dem Blatt zufolge mit Maschinenpistolen, Macheten und Handgranaten bewaffnet. Bei dem nach Veranstalterangaben größten Pokerturnier Deutschlands waren 945 Spieler aus 48 Ländern an den Start gegangen, unter ihnen Ex-Tennis-Star Boris Becker. Er soll aber bereits ausgeschieden sein und auch nicht in dem Hotel gewohnt haben. Auf den Sieger wartete zum geplanten Turnierende am Sonntag ein Preisgeld von insgesamt einer Million Euro. Das fünftägige Event im Grand Hyatt Berlin wurde von der European Poker Tour (EPT) in Kooperation mit der Spielbank Berlin und Pokerfloor und ausgerichtet. EPT Berlin Robbed by 6 armed men.

Check it out, enjoy The Pokerstars.com European Poker Tour (EPT) began in 2004 as part of the worldwide explosion in Texas Hold ‘em popularity. It is a series of televised poker tournaments similar to those in the World Poker Tour (WPT). In seasons 1-3, the most significant difference between the competing poker tours was the buy-in and its effect on the prize pool, with the EPT featuring buy-ins about half the size of the WPT. This changed in season 4 when the buy-in for most EPT events was increased to €8000. (Due to increased popularity and lack of space in participating casinos).[1] At 2007 exchange rates, this is approximately equal to the US000 which is the buy-in for most WPT events. Furthermore, the final table is made up of 8 players, as opposed to the 6 player final tables popularised by the WPT. The EPT is sponsored by and part owned by pokerstars and taped by Sunset + Vine for television broadcast across Europe. The tour was created by John Duthie, winner of the inaugural Poker Million tournament. Duthie commentates for the show, alongside Colin Murray and James Hartigan. The show was first hosted by Caroline Flack, then joined by Natalie Pinkham. Season 4 of the show is hosted by Kara Scott.
