Nice to see that the premier poker tournaments in the world are run so well, Dave C and Marty reg together and surprise surprise end up sitting side by side and Andy and Adrian I assume reg together and sit side by side, nice random table drawing.
You should have been in Deauville in 2006. That time they drew tables in alphabetical order so the Boatman brothers were sitting next to each other. I remember Jen (Mason) being drawn next to Isabelle Mercier. Ridiculous.
I was and as my name is Olin I got drawn with a bunch of manic scandies with names like Olsen etc and we had 4 exits before level 2.
As for being drawn together, myself and Dave C reged for one of the $2000 events last year, Phil Laak was behind us in the que and surprise surprise I was drawn raising into the pair of them.......
Such BS when you think about it, travel a couple of thousand miles, que up with your mates and then end up playing a home game.
