Armed robbers stormed the European Poker Tour’s tournament in Berlin, Germany, on Saturday, reportedly making off with $1.1m.

At 2:15pm, four men believed to brandishing a handgun and a machete burst into the Grand Hyatt Hotel where the tournament was being hosted in partnership with Spielbank Berlin Casino. No shots were fired and nobody was seriously injured.

Tournament organisers EPT denied reports that the suspects had been carrying assault rifles and hand grenades and stated that the money stolen was considerably less than had been reported by the media.

“I’m having a really shitty run,” Lodden said to the Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet. He’s been losing at poker and sports betting.

“I’m worse off now than two years ago when I was broke,” he says.

“It pisses me off that I didn’t win,” he says about Sunday Million. “When you make such a deep run in a big event you just want to win.”
