I was watching the live broadcast of the last 20 players this afternoon when this happened
YouTube - complete sequence of ept berlin robbery on livestream


"An armed robbery by six men took place today at EPT Berlin. Nobody was seriously injured. We hope to re-start all events at 4pm local time. A police investigation is under way. If you have video footage or photographs that could help the police, please contact the EPT organizers as soon as possible."

That's stupid of you to say that. It's like saying your mom deserves to get raped for walking alone on the streets at night.

[kingjames07]

well let me rephrase it for ya since you see it that way.....will omit deserve


they are just "asking" to get robbed being so stupid


P.S.: leave my momma out of this.....lol

[kingmotan]

Not your mother, just general speaking.
They had received this money today, for the high roller event. This could have been avoided if they would allow registration on Stars for the side events and the high roller. They only allow that for the ME. But I'm sure this will change for the next EPTs.
Speaking of next xPT's, the WPT bucharest is coming on March 27, so If anyone has 3k Euros to spare for a stake, I wanna play

Thats freaking insane man, but rumor has it that those robbers were all disgruntled Absolute Poker employees that were fired when that whole super user thingy hit them and the Pit Bull Poker guys where out in the get away van along with my $19 they stole from me, the bastards

I saw it on tv last night at news time. I first was wondering why they were talking about poker cause they usually don't even for WSOP.
Then i understood what happened and i say to myself, that was to happen in those crisis time.
I have an excuse anyway so that it won't cost me much troubles, but i wonder if Mo had one.

C ya guys.
