Hello!
We're at stop 2 on the EPT trail, London's own Victoria Casino. We've got a decent press area with the wonders of wifi, so should be able to bring you the same 'quality' updates as per usual...
Welcome to Homer, too, who will be bringing you the news with a combination of myself and Snoopy, who is on his way.

Let's start with the Spotteds:
Among many, many others (we hear we have another sell-out crowd):
Isabelle Mercier
Luca Pagano
Victor Ramdin
Joe Hachem
Barry Greenstein
Phil Ivey
Johnny Lodden
Roland de Wolfe
Neil Channing
John Shipley
Dave Colclough
And that's just the ones I saw hanging around the downstairs bar...

Hi everyone, I've literally just got here due to some trouble on the Circle line. But we are ready to go shortly.  And I'm even going to get a press-pass.  |

10,000 chips and an hour clock.
Sounds good?

It's great to see some preparation has gone into the tourney here this time for the hordes of players and press who've descended on the venue. No more hallway squatting for us - we're on a Stud Poker table in a back office (this place is very large behind the scenes) only five minutes from the card room area A. It's even starting on time...  |

These events seem to be starting to attract the best players from overseas as well, all good for the game.

Sometimes you have to suffer a little bit in your youth to motivate yourself to succeed in later life. Do you think if Bill Gates got laid in high school, do you think there'd be a Microsoft? Of course not.  |

Jen and I have just gone for our first initial foray into the lower cardroom. I'm still waiting for my press-pass so I daren't stray far in case I get carted away and out of the building. Here's a few of the initial photos. We'll be able to give a full list of players today soonish.
1; Stuart Nash's table
2; Jeff Buffenburger in the hat on another downstairs table.
3; Ian Woodley having his head eaten by a hungry waitress.
