Morning everyone, looking forward to this, was supposed to be playing, but the wife wanted me too take the bins out. 

[tikay]

Morning Heid!

Jen is busy inputting the names of every player, & their seat allocation, and I am downloading 40 or 50 pics we have taken already.

Play is due to commence in 45 minutes.

Morning!  It's a pretty pleasant day over here and time to settle down in the corner of yet another room so grand it looks like a film set.  Gilt pillars before breakfast!  I have taken the gracious allowance of one of the TV guys to sit in the corner of their room as licence to do just that until our press briefing.  I am just writing out a full list of players and tables which may entertain you until the start an hour from now.

Coverage proper will begin as soon as the Press Conference  - meaning a briefing for us alleged Members of the press - has taken place. The Press Briefing was scheduled for 11.00 local, & it's now 11.15.

Play is due to being at Noon, & the players are starting to congregate outside the Venue - they are not permitted to enter before 11.45.

And a special blonde welcome to Matt Savage & his team. Matt is the promoter of this Tourney, & will be "lifting" the blonde Live Update onto his own site, which has a huge following in the United States of America.

We are grateful to Matt for striking a deal with blonde to allow this LU to take place. Matt has shown us much warm hospitality, & provided us with sumptous accommodation, more of which later.

Quite what our American friends will make of a blonde Live Update remains to be seen - methinks it is going to be a bit of a culture shock, but hey-ho, we shall see.

So, the message from blonde in Monte Carlo, to Matt Savage's viewers is............

[tikay]

Good Morning America.....!

[tikay]

OK, we are off to the Press Briefing now, won't be long.

Play begins in 25 minutes, so get the dinner on, then join us for what is going to be one of the great days in poker, with a list of players that reads like a poker Who's Who.
