Yes.

But I put it in here as well to make sure we caught everybody's attention.

Hello All!  Welcome to Sunny Paris, a lovely change from Baking Vegas...

We have just climbed the winding mirrored staircase to the hallway of the Aviation Club de Paris, which doubles as part of the tournament area with 5 tables set up out here.  The club is divided into a series of small refined rooms leading off said hallway, with a wonderful view over the Champs Elysees out of one side's windows...  It couldn't be more different from the MegaConventionCentre arena of Vegas. 

Everyone is still milling around - I've sent Tikay off to investigate who's turned up today (there are two Day Ones here as well).

While we wait for everyone to check where they're sitting on some bits of paper stuck to the wall conveniently right in the middle of the hall, I will just remark on the efficiency of Eurostar.  Waterloo a few hours ago, then via a short unpleasant tube ride - straight here... There were a handful of poker players sharing our train, whom we immediately lost sight of and are having to rediscover in the crowd here.  No longer convinced it's going to kick off exactly on time...

Still no Tikay, although I saw El Blondie roaming around a minute ago and nearly tripped him up with my laptop bag.  Not so smooth.  Some people have started shouting which I am nearly sure signifies a start in a moment. 

I actually have a press pass for this event which I have proudly clipped to my shirt.  There is not the extraordinary tussle for space here, unless you count the folding table in the hallway which I am happily sharing with three other updaters.  How refreshing.

With understatement never dreamed of Stateside, the tournament has started without our really noticing.  The list of players has become uncluttered by players trying to read it and so some names follow shortly.  However the most astonishing thing is the number of players - it looks like there are 140 TOTAL players over both start days.  This strikes me as extraordinary, and not just because the last tournament I followed had 6000 runners.
