Paris WPT Live Update, Day 1b

[tikay]

Welcome to Paris on another blisteringly hot day in the Capital of Cool.

Day 1b starts in around 2 hours, & today will be almost a blonde benefit.

We will see these guys today, amongst others.....

Dave "Monty Burns" Colclough

Thewy

Matt "b4Matt" Tyler

Rob "The Yongsta" Yong

Simon "Chubbs" Nowab

Roland de Wolfe, the reigning champion, one of several blonde WPT & WSOP Winners.

Ben "MilkyBarKid" Grundy.

John Gale, another WPT Winner.

Willie Tann, WSOP Bracelet Winner & blondeite.

John Kabbaj

Ian McDonald, from Gala Notts.

Anthony Lellouche

More to come when I remember them, or see them.

But as you can see, today's gonna be a humdinger, & maybe we will put together a "Ten to Follow" if you give us your suggestions as to who you'd like us to pay special attention to.

Joe Beevers played yesterday, but I don't know if the rest of the boys will be here today, I have yet to see any of them.

Have a look at the Internet Poker board for news of the Grosvenor Super Six event you are referring to.

All messages noted, thanks.

We still do not have the Overnight Chip counts, but this is France, remember.

Jen is not with us yet, she is sleeping like a baby, she was extremely tired yesterday. But i've arrived early to reserve us two workstations, the Updaters Corner here is hellish overcrowded, & there are loads of foreign Updaters.

The AFC has Wifi now, but it fell over yesterday, so it was lucky that Jen & i had our Vodafone thingy's.

Willie Tann just rung me, he's just this moment arrived in Paris, so he's gonna have to get his skates on.

Thanks Tighty.

The breaking news on the Bolton event is that it's almost certain, subject only to "clearance" from Rank & Grosvenor, that blonde will be running a Live Update for that event.

Willie Tann on skates, I'd pay to see that!

Hi Sofa. You are referring to the Poker 6 event, a new concept brought to you by Blue Square and Grosvenor Casinos. There is a total of £21,000 added across the weekend - £7,000 to the main prize pool, £9,000 to a consolation tournament of day 2 for day one losers and £5,000 to the Starting Table Saver prize.

To learn more about the event please take a look at http://www.bluesq.com/pokersix

or read this piece I did for Blonde on it http://www.blondepoker.com/index.php?q=node/2480

It will be possible to buy tickets for the £1,000 event but not until the lion's share of the qualifiers are over - anyone interested in buying in diirectly should email pokersix@bluesqpoker.com and they will be added to the reserve list. There are currently about a dozen people on the reserve list and it is anticipated that there will be roughly 30 or so seats available for direct buy in.  There is no obligation to buy a seat if you put yourself down on the reserve list, so anyone who wants to take part in the event would be advised to get on the reserve list asap and then keep on trying to qualify.

When I see the table all set up like this, 15,000 Chips in each place, 90 minute clock, I absolutely ache to be playing the comp. Who would not?

Yup, & blinds begin at 50-100, & there is a 15 minute wee break at the end of each level, & a 105 minute Dinner Break mid-evening.
