The PokerStars European Poker Tour became the victim of a robbery Saturday when as many as six armed men stormed the Grand Hyatt Berlin where EPT Berlin is being held.

Panic struck at the event when four masked men reportedly armed with Kalashnikov assault rifles and hand grenades raided the hotel with two others standing guard outside just after 2 p.m. local time.

Berlin tabloid B.Z. has reported as much as €800,000 was stolen before the culprits took off across the Marlene-Dietrich-Platz in front of the hotel blending into the crowd at the nearby Potsdamer Platz Arcades.

Although none were seriously hurt, the newspaper claims as many as eight security personnel suffered minor injuries, including one security officer who briefly detained one of the men before being pistol whipped.

The police stated that they were a bunch of dilettants. There were a lot of cameras and the police expects to catch them soon, because one of them didn't wear gloves and one showed his face...
Although they were heavily armed an intern managed to get away with a bag of money while one the gunman was fighring with a security guard, so instead of possible 690.000€ (buy-in money in the safe in the lobby) they escaped with 242.000€.

EDIT: If the intern wouldn't have given the bag back he would have robbed more money than the 6 gunmen.
