Is that George Melly's brother?

A little quieter now on the final table, but Holland Casino is absolutely heaving - have to struggle through the bar throng, restaurant throng and spectator throng every time I hear the word 'raise.'  The place seems packed all the time.  I can't imagine a more popular government institution.

[Djinn]

Thomas Middleton suffers from the 'hoody effect' i.e. when his hood is up he lowers his head and due to the contrast on the screens it looks like he doesn't have a head at all.  Just a kind of hunched black shape.  Patrick Bueno recently gave up his big blind to Thomas after trying to peer up inside it!

*******************Dinner Break*******************

Yes, just in case the players didn't have lunch, a timely 1hr break has been announced, and verified by a still-smiling Julian who was making his way out from around the cameras.

Is that George Melly's brother?

Ahh, trust Red to spot by boo-boo. Yes, I meant George Melly.

We are coming up to Dinner Break, so we will see what frame of mind our hero is in. Neither Julian or Shar had had an ounce of luck so far, both have suffered ugly beats, but these things have a  habit of turning round, & I still feel we can bring the money home.

The game has gone all tight, it's Raise & Pass stuff, but it will speed up when we get to the next blind level.

See you soon.

I've just seen M Power's signature, by the way. It looks a bit cryptic, & it is. 11th July was his Birthday, & he spent the entire day railbirding me in the WSOP $1,500. That's love.

The sad thing Tony is we both know who George Melly is

Good luck Julian and Shar!

Like the coverage tk,strange its like being part of a conversation,you might be right Hotdog Marcel really wants this one,recognition at home and all that .dum  dum dum da ,Carmina Burana,my fault I think .Its brilliant wind up music on the way to the game,aggression and more aggression.I am surprised he remembers it .

Hi Nomad,  "like being part of a conversation"....that's the whole idea - join in, & enjoy. Hope you can join us for more Live Updates, we go to Monte Carlo on Sunday week, that will be huge.

Tikay, I left Amsterdam yesterday after getting knocked out.  The atmosphere you create on here is better than actually being there!!!

[tikay]

Well, we had a lovely posh dinner. Sort of thin fish, with lots of bones, which they took out for us. €86! But a lot better fish than that fish Chili serves at her Restaurant. Well, chippie.

Right Mr Thew, time to dance!
