"mini press crackdown"........

Have we been banished so that the WPT TV peeps, who are always a PITA, can shoot endless clips which will never be shown?

No no, actually the next time that happened, the announcer floorman kindly allowed me to stay taking my pictures on Tikay's humble digital camera.  For which I am eternally grateful.  The French can be helpful!

in what lifetime

Thomas Wahlroos, one of my picks for the day - his record in quite a short space of time is quite extraordinary - and I reckon with a chip stack like that he may well be a candidate for the Final.  Which is why I picked him, obviously.

I have played w/ him a bunch since Vienna, he is a class act and has a great attitude. Please tell him good luck if you talk to him Jen.

Full superspeedy counts before everyone is OUT of the room for the ***********15 min break**********

Table Excited French Spectators

John Jerney      110,000
Kenneth Strandli  110,000
Patrice Boudet    115,000
Philip Jeh           220,000
Gilles Haddad      200,000
Karsten Johansen  270,000

Table Johansson (controversial naming, perhaps)

Christer Johansson  380,000
David Paindestre     145,,000
Henri Boutboul       200,000
Phil Hellmuth          140,000
Zuo Ping Angelo Yu (henceforward ZPA Yu)  118,000
Patrick Schuhl         300,000

Table Wahlroos   

Elie Marciano         53,000
Jani Sointula          242,000
Christian Grundtvig  265,000
Henrik Witt            120,000
Nabil Ayoubi           107,000
Romain Feriolo        270,000
Thomas Wahlroos   325,000

These are very rough counts done because I heard there would be no press access in the break, when I was planning to go and meticulously count every chip.  Ah well, off for tea instead.  Snoops has arrived and will soon be fighting for oxygen in the little room after the players remaining return.

Hi folks!

I've never updated a WPT event before, but ploughing through the crowd to obtain a chip count looks like a tall order indeed.

The final tables are being plaed out in the roomn behind us, to which there is just the one entrance, and a very narrow passage it is too. Add the hoards of people lingering beyond the rope, and you have a very tricky situation indeed.

Guile, courage, bravery, and, most importantly, muscle, are the attributes I'm going to need to get through to that room - characteristics that I posses by the truck load (ahem).

Caught him hastening back post break and had time to mutter BrianWilsonsaysgoodluck and he said thanks. Smiley

It's really extraordinary that a WPT that can be played in a Venue such as Aviation. Full of character, yes, full of characters too, very much like The Merrion in many ways, but let's think about this - the Monte Carlo Millions apart, the sole European leg of the WPT surely warrants a better Venue. Is the Aviation really the best Venue in Europe? John Duthie found some superb EPT Venues - Monte Carlo & Deauvile spring to mind, Baden too, all of which could get 300+ players in one, spacious room. Even Dublin has two better locations, space-wise - City West & Jury's Inn.

Bruno & Sabine have been wonderful to blonde, & to me personally, so it's not a personal thing.

Conside this. Access to the cardrooms is via a corridor, the first part of which has a 6' wide "bottleneck", & encroaching in the 6' are two proper, full size, backgammon tables, always in use, & always with a handful of railers blocking through access.

That brings you to a wide corridor, in which, even during the start of the WPT, there were 4 Cash game Tables in use, again, access, past the inevitable railers, is difficult.

Then we get the actual playing area - well, areas.

Two rooms, one either side of the corridor, one has a single 6' wide entrance, the other has 2 x 6' wide entrances. All three entrances are permanently blocked by spectators who are pinned behind the rope.

One room has 8 tables shoehorned in, the other has 4 ditto.

The Venue has no Disabled Access.

It's a lovely venue run by people who have been great to blonde, to 425, & to me, & I would play there 7 days a week if I were in Paris.

But is this the best we can do for Europe's sole WPT foray?

Roll on a Governing Body......

To repeat - I LOVE the Aviation, it's got such atmo. But as a WPT Venue.......

Here's an interesting trio, Phil Hellmuth (tall even when sitting down), ZPA Yu, and Patrick Schuhl.

Dear Phillip is not a happy bunny at all.

Flop = three diamonds

It's checked round to the bullet dodger, who sticks out a bet of 15k.

Patrick Schuhl calls, but Christer Johansson pushes in 100k (!)

Phil rises from his seat in disgust.

"All those hands he's been lucky"
"Still doesn't matter, we'll get him later"
"There's a long way to go yet my friend"
"You've got away with murder so far"

All this in one hand, with Johannson not saying a dickie bird.

Phil passed by the way, and so did Patrik, revealing a queen in the process.
