			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A few days after one of the robbers turned himself in for the Poker Stars European Poker Tour-Berline heist, a second suspect was charged and arrested.</p>
<p>Someone was talking to the cops, because 20 year-old <strong>Ahmad  el-Awayti</strong> was spotted in a subway station, according to the Associated Press.  <a href="http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5gflurXKMS4vkaToAThXCbYC6pfbwD9EGKKEO3" target="_blank"><strong></strong></a></p>
<p>“Police said he acknowledged to officers that he was being  sought by authorities and was arrested without putting up any  resistance.”</p>
<p>Besides the two  suspects now behind bars,  the getaway car, a Mercedes, is in police custody. The gang allegedly  escaped through a nearby shopping mall.</p>
<p>The Associated Press and other media have reported that the loot from  the rare midday casino heist has yet to be found.</p>
<p>In a previous article  by the news outlet, it was revealed that the four masked gunmen divvied  up the €242,000 evenly.</p>
<p>According to police reports, two assailants remain at large, their  whereabouts unknown: Jihand Chetwie, a 19-year-old man  from Germany, and Mustafa Ucarkus, a 20-year-old Turkish native.</p>
<p>The suspect who turned  himself into police on Monday identified all three of his accomplices,  but has not been named.</p>
<p>Apparently the initial arresting officials found a piece of paper on Mohammed at  the time of his arrest with six different names written on it. At least  three of those names belong to suspects in the robbery.”</p>
<p>The robbery occurred at the Grand Hyatt Hotel in Berlin, where 1,000 players had  convened to battle for the €1 million top prize, which went to American Kevin MacPhee.  <strong></strong></p>
<p>The robbery made headlines around the  world.</p>
<p>And of course, on this post.</p>
<p>Stay tuned for more news on the arrest.</p>
