I didn't recognise him without his cap, but this is New Zealander Greg Howard, who finalled in the Bolton GukPT.

Some of you may recognise his online alias, crosscourtbh, which has been popping up regularly across the blonde forum. I think he owes 50p for the tin, so I'll nab that off him at some point tonight.

Well, we're here. Due to the latest Grosvenor rules in which we're not allowed to bring our laptops onto the casino floor or into the cardroom,

can you explain the reasoning behind this snoops? are they getting so many customers that they do not need additional publicity ?

crosscourtbh asked, "Are there many blondeites here today?"

Yep, there are loads tonight, and one of them is this chap, Matt Dale. I think his moniker on blonde is 'mango' or something similar.

I have emerged from the traffic, which is as bad as the players harassing reception say it is, and joined Snoopy in the Press Area which is actually pleasingly close to the tourney room, and comes with a fridge, although no wifi, as yet.

Looking forward to covering the second of these events, good structure, attracting the interesting players, yatta yatta yatta.

Going for a wander and a cup of coffee.

That's not the way it is Boo. We CAN take ouor Lappies into the building, but NOT into the Cardroom or Casino floor, basically, not in the Public Areas. "Security" is the reason.

And thery have given us Wifi now, so that's the bizz, though it seems to have fallen over at Walsall right now.

And you know these two!

"Gawd, look at the belly on that," say Red-Dog.

I assume he was referring to himself.

"Will you get a photo with me and Greco, snoops?" asks Chili.

"Sure, no worries," I reply.

Skipping up to Greco, "Michael, snoopy demanded a photo of us two," fibs Chili.

I then go on to say to Greco, "I bet you get all the time, don't you, people wanting photos?"

"Not as much as I used to, but yeah,"

"Is it annoying?"

"Nah, I don't mind, sometimes I get people asking me when I'm out with the girlfriend though. A guy asked me at a bar once to have a piccy with some girl, but the place was really busy and she was right over the side, I was with the Mrs and just wanted a quick drink, but I eventually caved in. When I went over there, which took a bloomin age because of the crowd, I said 'Hi' and she said 'What?'. 'You want a picture right?' and she just replies 'No'. Sigh!"

At that exact moment, a random woman in the casino comes up and asks, "Excuse me, please could I take a photo of you with my friend." Cheesy

Bah, it never happens to me!

Greco assures me that he's never said the line, "Do you know who I am?"

Do you believe him tikay?

If Snoppy has got his pink trainers on, it makes perfect sense to lock him away in a cupboard .... kudos to Grosvenor for protecting poker players from such a sight

We've encountered our first exit of the day, and it's NOT Ariston.

"Why does it always happen to me?" cries Rumit Somaiya.

"Aces?" I ask.

"No, Kings. I flopped a set, Lucy (Rokach) moved in with a flush draw and hit. She called my pre-flop raise with A-6."
