bit racist.

OK we're here, and so are around 250 players, just kind of hanging out downstairs.  We're back in the press room a little further from the action, but the action is currently restricted to people registering, eating snacks and trying to get into the tournament foyer. 

But I'm sure you'll all be delighted that NoflopsHomer is getting many a picture of the DTD girls, who are posing in the grey rain outside...

gl to any blondes playing today!

[NoflopsHomer]

Strolling into the casino, looks like we are behind schedule again, I'm guessing another late start, 14.30pm GMT at the earliest.

Anyway Jen and I have this really weird journey to get to this casino which is up a hill in a forest. Basically, we have to travel up this road that's simply a winding staircase for about 10 minutes to get to the top, but the view is fantastic.

Oh, when we got to the casino, look who we bumped into...

[tikay]

The Boy Lodden - legend.

[Balloo]

Does Marcel Luske, Juha Hellpi and Tony G play today or did I just miss their exit yesterday?

[NoflopsHomer]

Marcel is certainly playing today, he won the German Invitational televised sit-n-go yesterday that lasted 7 hours (I'm reckoning it might have been better structured than the actual tournament), Jen is milling around downstairs at the moment so she'll have a list of names for you shortly.

bit racist.

Bit Buttist!

[Djinn]

Jan and George are now kind of Ambassadors of Poker in Germany, making the final (though, sadly, not the money) of that 'German Superstars of Poker' televised thing which looked like a lot of fun, although we probably won't get a chance to see it as it's only going to be broadcast here and in German. 

Anyway, we think it's funny that they are the German equivalent of like the Devilfish, or Negreanu  - probably a household name among 14-year-olds playing poker with their parents' credit cards with matchsticks.

Thanks for the updates - good work. Has Tony G been sighted?
