Over $136,000 was stolen from a casino in Berlin on Saturday. According to German authorities, four men armed with handguns and a machete stormed the building and took the money.

A report by Bloomberg said the men stole the cash while a poker tournament was underway at around 2 p.m. Seven people sustained minor injuries during the robbery, according to the report.

The men, who wore disguises, are still at large, according to police in Berlin. A security guard sustained minor injuries when he snatched one of the bags of money from the robbers. The poker tournament is one of the largest of its kind in Germany. The top prize for winning the tournament is about $1.3 million.
