Breaking News: Armed Robbery Suspends Play at EPT Berlin (Video Update)
The 2010 PokerStars.net EPT Berlin came to an abrupt halt in the action around 2:30 p.m. local time on Saturday when a group of armed men raided the Grand Hyatt Hotel in Berlin where the tournament is being held. The men were after money and no one was seriously injured in the incident.
After a small group of people came running down the long hallway toward the media room upstairs on the second floor of the hotel in a stir of commotion, some of the members of the media walked the other way to see what was going on.

HoroeschioSecurity was there, just unarmed. Surely 5-6 men with weapons will be able to overtake them. A few of the security guards did extremely well with the situation and fended off the men in extraordinary fashion, even despite not having any weapons themselves.
Yes the WSOP has more beefed up security, but that is the WSOP. The venue here isn't even really the casino, that's across the way. The tournament is being held at the Grand Hyatt Hotel in the ballroom which is off the casino grounds.
