German Poker Event Hold Up
Apparently these things don’t just happen in the movies. Today a German poker tournament being held in the Hyatt Hotel in Berlin was interrupted by four to six armed robbers wielding not only guns and machetes but also grenades (although the reports on this are a little sketchy at the moment still). The whole incident was caught on camera and has already been posted on You Tube. In fact the first moments of the holdup were still being streamed live to air but the footage was cut as people started running. Apparently the men demanded money and terrorized the tournament spectators. You can clearly see any would possibly could making a quick dash for the exits. According to the reports they made off with maybe as much as $1.1 million. The scheduled events continued on as planned after the holdup and tomorrow is the last day of the 5 day event.
