Details are still fairly sketch regarding the robbery by an armed gang on Saturday at the Grand Hyatt Hotel in Berlin.

German media sources are reporting that although first accounts were that the gang were a well armed, well organised gang, this seems not to be the case. It appears that the robbers had hand guns and machetes rather than the automatic weapons first thought.

This seems to echo the thoughts of Andrew Feldman, which were on Facebook within moments of the raid:

Sketchy reports are coming through that the European Poker Tour event in Berlin was robbed today by men armed with assault rifles.

Players that were participating in what was day 4 of the event allegedly dived under tables in Grand Hyatt Hotel where the event was taking place. The apparently happened about 2pm (CET)

Reporting is very blurred at the moment but there are no reports of serious injuries. The gunmen were have thought to have got away with about 5 million euros from the tournament although at this time that has not been confirmed.
