Well, Druff said this would happen with the lax security at various poker events and large amounts of cash on hand.  Reports from around the internet say that around 4pm local Berlin time a few masked gunman busted up the joint stealing hundreds of thousands of euro as the EPT main event played.  Of course there was a live Pokerstars stream that was quickly cut when the shenanigans started.  At this early stage of this story it appears that this video is the only media to make it out of Berlin so far.  Thankfully it appears no one was hurt.  If you have any other info or video or pix about the EPT Robbery please post it on the DD forums.  UPDATE:  a 3-minute+ video of the incident is in the forums and have learned that EPT Berlin has resumed play.  ANOTHER UPDATE:  Eye witness report on page 2 of the EPT Berlin Robbery thread.

The starting lineup, usually being very talkative in the previous seasons, has been really toned down as far as amusement. With Hellmuth busting out right away, the entertainment factor on bashing him is also gone as well.
