PokerStars European Poker Tour Berlin, the biggest poker tournament hosted in Germany was interrupted on day 4 by armed robbers, causing chaos in the casino as people rushed for the exits. Footage of the robbery was recorded from EPT live and was released briefly on youtube before the video was removed. Luckily nobody was hurt and the incident only lasted 15 minutes, while the robbers held up the registration area of the EPT at Grand Hyatt Hotel.

The main event which was down to the final 20 players resumed a few hours later and one other EPT event was canceled, when players were allowed refunds. Lets hope stricter security is used in future live tournament events where large sums of money are involved.

The first ever Poker Stars EPT Berlin main event had 945 registered players and the buy-in was €5,300 with a prize pool of €4,725,000
