As a poker fan myself, this story was pretty surreal when it first came in this morning. You never really think about the tournament you are playing in getting robbed, it’d just be to paranoid. I doubt something like this would ever happen in Las Vegas.
That’s exactly what happened at the Hyatt in Berlin, Germany yesterday, however, when up to 6 armed men with machine guns and machetes stormed the tournament cashier demanding money. Pokerstars has confirmed 1 Million euros are missing and has put out a plea of help to catch the on-the-run robbers. Crazy!
