Coming back from the dinner break, it seems as though things are almost completely back to normal. Although the buzz of the robbery incident is still in the air, the players in the room are finally getting back to being fully focused on the task at hand. Whether it's a side event, the High Roller event or the Main Event, things have calmed down.
The security outside the ballroom has been beefed up quite a bit. There's a lot more hotel security guards checking IDs and player/staff passes before you enter the room and a few police officers are hanging around to keep things in check.
Some of the staff has been relieved from being too shaken up due to the incident, but for the most part, everyone is just happy that no one was hurt and all is now back to normal here at the EPT Berlin.
