Back after my 7.30pm early night with hot orange last night.
Looks like i have missed all the fun. Excellent updates as ever

Down to 10, we lose 1 more player then go 9 handed, then lose 1 more for the day.


I just heard my SNG is filling, 2 more seats left in the €30,000 SNG.

Can I ask the obvious daft question - do these people carry big pocketsful of wonga to play these games, or are they considered "good for it" - ie they will send the winner a cheque when they get home .

If that is the case I might come over for one

boing!

And to answer the person who asked about how to carry large sums of money into the States. The safest thing to do is to contact the cage at the casino you wish to play at and arrange a money transfer from your bank.

[byronkincaid]

No need to send a cheque, I think they're just transfering the money to each other's Poker Stars accounts.

[Trace]

C'mon Ross I just put some money on you!

[sofa----king]

pretty good odds i think jon,blue sq are giving value i think personally,my moneys on marcel.but id love to see barney or a brit get it

[sofa----king]

jon 1 quick question m8 on your personal opinion are you pleased the way things have gone out there,overall? a few of the boys i know out there are a bit disapointed,eg food, service,value,no cash games only sng,just wanted your opinion m8.i was booked to come but business commits made me stay ,i feel as if im glad i did and didnt go thnx m8.

[AlrightJack]

well, I would agree that the service and prices at the bar are awful, truly awful. The food is mediocre, but there is good food at reasonable prices nearby, not in the venue. The lack of cash games I don't mind as I'm mainly a sit and go player myself anyway.  But for me, just being here in Monte Carlo and beingb a part of it all makes it all worth while. Value? I am the value.
