ANTE UP! ROBBERS HIT UP A GERMAN POKER EVENT & MADE OFF WITH POSSIBLE MILLION!

A poker tournament in Germany became a real high stakes game when several armed robbers stormed the event.

According to reports, four to six men, allegedly brandishing guns, machetes and possibly grenades, broke into the Grand Hyatt Hotel in Berlin demanding money.

The gang terrorized the crowds, who then fled, causing several injuries, police said.

Video captured the madness as players at the tables and those watching quickly ran for the exits. A security guard is seen taking on one of the masked robbers, but he escaped with help from another masked-man.

The initial moments of the robbery were caught on live television, but coverage quickly cut away as people ran from the tables.

"Several masked, armed individuals entered the Grand Hyatt Hotel and fled with a haul of money," police spokeswoman Heidi Vogt told the BBC.

The thieves may have made off with as much as $1.1 million, the BBC reported. A bag was left behind after the scuffle, and police would not confirm exactly how much was actually stolen.

The incident took place on the fourth day of the five-day tournament. According to the tournament's website, "Nobody was seriously injured and the Main Event, High Roller tournament and Ladies Event all managed to resume within a few hours."

The tournament is expected to end today.
