Amadeus Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 Robbers raid Berlin hotel poker tournament Armed robbers have stormed a luxury hotel in central Berlin where a poker tournament was taking place, German police say. One report said the gang - armed with assault rifles and hand grenades - made off with the tournament jackpot of 800,000 euros ($1.1m; £726,000). Several people were injured in the ensuing panic, although none of them seriously. About 1,000 poker players are taking part in the five-day tournament. "Several masked, armed individuals entered the Grand Hyatt Hotel and fled with a haul of money," police spokeswoman Heidi Vogt said. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KaFg-RLdW2s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
