A group of armed robbers stormed a poker tournament in Berlin's Grand Hyatt hotel, a local police spokesman said.
"Four masked men burst into the hall where the tournament was being held and demanded money," the spokesman told RIA Novosti.
"Several people were slightly injured when they panicked," he said.
The spokesman said the police have not caught the robbers yet and did not give the sum that was stolen.
According to local media reports, the robbers took some 800,000 Euros.
The tournament was organized by the European Poker Tour, which calls it the largest poker event in Germany.
The European Poker Tour said on its web site that the jackpot for the tournament stood at 1 million Euros. The EPT issued an official statement, saying there was "an armed robbery executed by six men."
