Bonjourno guys, was just wondering what you made of Boris Beckers arrival at the felt for this tourny. Is it purely a gravy train operation or serious on his part?

I think it's a simple case of good marketing. Boris is mega famous in Europe, hugely popular in his homeland where there are plenty of potential players, and someone who is going to make the news and attract the lure of the cameras in whatever comp he plays. He should also attract a certain crowd that may previously never have been interested in poker before. Do you think the tabloids were interested when PokerStars signed up a trio of World Champions? I bet they were when Boris jumped aboard.

From Boris' perspective, it's equally simple. Fancy being paid into a load of events, playing some poker and experiencing something new? Er... yeah, ok.

I actually feel a bit sorry for him. I suspect he thought that everyone would be impressed by him because he's famous, but in fact the general reaction from the press/other players has been fun-poking and contempt.

By the way he came 7th in the €500 rebuy side event.

Somehow.

Being Canadian I would like nothing better than two Canucks heads up with Chorny vs. Villemure.

Snoopy had never heard this expression before. He thought it was rhyming slang.

Not even close to getting the Final Table underway.  It's a big operation, the end of the final of the EPT season...  An impressive stage is where the lightscameraaction part of the tournament happens, and the whole thing is filmed with an impressive lot of equipment.  Currently before the lens - a totally glamorous Kara Scott, in Three Distances!

Their demure poses had to be held for the best part of 20 minutes, as well as the smiling into the middle distance.  It looked a bit weird, but I am sure the end of the TV show will ooze the requisite glamour.

Perhaps if you photoshopped the T6 ladies and changed the title to Team T6 you might get a few more interested viewers
