Paris WPT Live Update - Day 1a

[Djinn]

Despite his recent double up and breathing space creation, Kirill here is taking on Juha Helppi (right) for who can look the most intense.  And winning.

No sign yet of The Camel - I do hope he shows up. Though, somehow, I don't think he'd "take" to the French.

For once, Mr Tikay, you are incorrect. I absolutely love playing at the Aviation. And the French guys are, almost 100%, great. Eli Marciano, Patrick Bueno, Pascal Perrault and Xavier Lascelles are excellent players and great guys. I also like propping up the bar will Padraig, Tom the tank and Ashley Alterman.

But, we moved house at the weekend, and dashing off to Paris to play poker while all our posessions are still in cardboard boxes would be a teensy weensy bit offside I think.

Aparte of from a small chance of playing the first event at the Vic next week, you won't be seeing much of me playing poker in the coming months I'm afraid.

I look forward to keeping up to date with the successes of Messers Thew, Burns, Kelly, Shipley and Bush on blondepoker!

Hi Your Camelness & Jake,

Happy to stand corrected, if "for once", I'm incorrect.

But may I make so bold as to correct you, too.

I quote you......

I look forward to keeping up to date with the successes of Messers Thew, Burns, Kelly, Shipley and Bush on blondepoker!

Forgotten someone, have you? Modesty forbids me to mention the name, of course. Ahem......

God. How embarrassing...

I missed out Flushy!

Good luck James!

you're too much of a celebrity to actually bother with playing now Tikay.

Agreed - in fact he almost counts as a Celebrity Guest Updater now...

As the cash game players filter in, and the oxygen feels less concentrated, and we all get a bit stuck to our keyboards, and a rumour circulates that there may not be any more ice, here's a little competition to keep everyone's enthusiasm up:

Flushy. FLUSHY? OMG. I'm hurting here.

OK, some Chippy Counts, with 81 left, & blinds still a measly 100-200, 25 ante, for another 16 minutes.

Phil Hellmuth - VERY focused. 58k.

Ramzi 47k. "Playing".

Paul Testud, 18k

Achilleas Kalakkis. (Kalakkis - Greek for small but beautiful). 13.5k "I'm preparing for an all-in "blind"...."

John Duthie - 23k. "Going backwards".

Nick Gibson 19k - "I'm going forwards".

Tony Chessa 23k, apparently asleep.

Joe Beevers, 12k, actually he looks a little bored & "out of it". Dreaming of those twins I guess.

Padraig Parkinson 25k

Henning Gradstad 15k

Isobelle Mercier, 20k. Staring the table down a treat. "Don't even THINK about stealing my blinds".

Brian Johnson, 14k. (Next to Isabelle, to her immediate right).

Jan Leitmann, 15.3k.

Tikay, does the running ante slow down play much? I'm not a big fan myself.

Bingo!

I thought I recognised the back but couldn't remember his name...

It's Henning Gradstad's rearview!

The Avistion's Wifi has dropped out, so nobody here - nobody at all - is online now, not even our Jen.

Except me, God help you all. The Wifi would not load on my Lappie, so I'm using my Vodafone dubree.

I can tell you that all those"name that back" entries are way, way, off mark.

By a bokking coincidence, the "shirt back" has just busted out, & the Tourney will continue sans Henning Gradstad.
