Can you wish the 'HatPimp' Nicolas Levi gl from me, and also Soren Kongsgaard (if he's playing today).

A familiar face off the UK circuit, Osman Mustanoglu has taken a sudden hit courtesy of his American (I guess) neighbour and is now down to a less prosperous 14.5k as a result. With the board reading 8d-2s-Jd-5s-3s, Osman was facing a River bet of 7.5k which, if he were to call and lose, would more than bisect his stack in half. With the clock running down and the rest of the table fidgeting in their seats like three legged ferrets, Osman calmly but surely dwelled up his options.whilst his opponent rifled through his chips. After a few minutes in the think tank, Osman accepted defeat and threw in his cards, the bottom of which appeared to be the Ten of diamonds.

Roberto Romanello has gone off the wall after doubling up. Racing over to me like a speed demon, Roberto claimed to have risen up to the dizzy nosebleed inducing heights of 10.5k. "I flat called a pre-flop raise with Kings," he screamed still excited by what sounded like a thriller of a hand. "The Flop came Queen high and all the money went in." Roberto had, technically, top pair, but he wasn't alone, Mateyboy's K-Q looking pretty bad in the face of the Welshman's overpair. No change on the Turn or River and it's a heart-breaker for Mateyboy, whilst Roberto is now dangerous and feeling invincible.

Here's a masseuse, as found on nearly the whole tour, Suki, relaxing Isabelle Mercier, plus a third lady in the picture (almost unheard of in a poker context, it must be said) - the dealer.

Hello! Thanks for the great updates as usual! Any news on how Nicolas Levi is gettin on? I'm hiding in the Fairmont down the road - easier to keep an eye on him from here!! Are spectators allowed near the tables again or is that a no no all day?

Go frenchies

You can sort of lurk at the periphery, but a stern-looking man in a black suit (or Steve Frazer) will kick you out if you don't have a press badge.  And sometimes if you do.

Thank you Snoopy and the rest of the team for your great work !!!

Maria Maceiras is currently on 20k, although I have to confess to estimating due to the marks on her chips all being neatly lined up. As I left, she was involved in a small pot, but folded to a 2k River bet on an 8d-4d-Qh-5d-3h board.

Cool - thanks Jen - thought I'd double check. Might try catch him at dinner then. Will hopefully bump into you at some point too!

I am going to take a 50/50 shot and guess that this is Sebastian Zink.  His twin poker-playing brother, also present today, looks the same but with a goatee and is called Daniel (or Sebastian, if I've got them wrong).  Pretty indizinkguishable.



Also note, in the background, a Mr. Hostrup of Danish Poker Federation fame (back left) and the daring orange/fisherman's hat combo of Greg Raymer.
