Each team member will play one ranking tournament of No Limit Hold’em and Pot Limit Omaha on the Friday, and whether or not the team makes it to the Sunday final will be determined by the combined result of the four team members. Team members can chose to participate in Saturday’s individual NL TX tournament Tallinn All-In, or simply enjoy anything else that the beautiful city of Estonia has to offer.

Tournament registration is now open, and Poker Icons have arranged a special poker rate at the Reval Park Hotel and Casino for those players who arrange their own travel.

The majority of buy-ins will range from £20 to £100 and players will have the opportunity take part in PLO, PLO8 and Heads Up events, as well as No Limit Hold’em. In addition therefore will also be a two day HORSE event. London Calling will finally conclude with a £300 buy-in main event.
There will also be a leaderboard running throughout the festival where players will have the opportunity to win points. Players who finish in a winning position will be able to convert their points for starting stacks in a special freeroll at PKR.com.

The robbers broke up the €5,000 No-Limit Hold’em Main Event as they ran into the ballroom.  At least one of the men had a gun and another was holding a machete when they interrupted one of Europe’s biggest live poker tournaments.  When they entered the Grand Hyatt’s ballroom, players took off running towards the exits in a desperate attempt to avoid the robbers.  In their haste to escape, the players tipped over tables and chairs, which left some people with bruises and scrapes.

Luckily, those were the only injuries during the incident and no security guards were seriously injured either despite briefly scuffling with the gunmen.  There’s no word on whether the robbers have any idea how to play poker, but they did manage to grab a large share of the prize pool when they reportedly made off with over €250,000 of the Main Event money. 

As of now, Berlin police are still looking for suspects and the only lead they have is that a security camera caught one of the criminals with their mask off – but from behind.  Berlin’s police chief Reiner Wendt says that the organizers of the EPT event are at fault for not hiring enough security guards for the event. 

In any case, this scary incident might force many of the 1,000 players in attendance to stay at home and play online poker for a while.  Some of the players were so shaken by the incident that they were given back their €5,000 buy-in.
