money on Tilly and Haxton and Full Flush ... leatherass self admits not the best against the top players .
Haxton knows a lot and talks poker a lot, Tilly is sneaky, and FullFlush should be the best of the aggressive side ...

This being broadcast anywhere?

It is being taped to air in the UK later this year. Blinds should be 25/50 to start.

blinds 25/50 byuin 10-30k

routing 4 bodo!

I'm blogging the 8am-8pm shift, so somehow I'm going to have to get out of bed at around 6am. Gulp.

Viffer (david peat) and Bonomo also should do well

I'm very curious what 2+2s opinion on SchnibL0r is because he is pretty famous around german boards. Do you think he will do well in this setup?

I'm also at the game, which is being held in the Red Room off Park Lane. My updates will be on the site I'm associated with. I'm only here for a few more hours tonight and the real stuff will come from tomorrow.

I spoke to a senior figure from PartyPoker, who then introduced me to a very charming Tony G. I'm convinced that their account is true. They're serious business people - they would not pull this as a stunt! But "Isildur1" doesn't know what he wants. He'll be at Monte Carlo, though.

Tony G posed for a photo with me. My face is as red as the walls since I did a 40 mile charity bike-ride today. I might post it when I get a copy tomorrow, I'll see how bad it is!

Just behind the TV table, Tony is playing £100/£200 NLHE with a friend.

I haven't met FullFlush yet, but I heard him say: "He chickened out. The stakes were too high for him!"

He is wearing a pork-pie hat.

smile :-)

I'm convinced you are the most naive journalist I've ever read.

Well, Isildur1 isn't playing on tv. Viktor has, and will, quite a bit, imo. Probably with an FTP patch once he's 21.
As far as residence, he's in Monte Carlo, so gg Göteborg, unless his set-up there is so incredibly stekare that he'd rather have that vs one of the prettiest party scenes in the world, which also happens to be tax free.

I wouldn't say evil. However, I think a brief description of Systembolaget would get the point you're trying to make across to most Americans.
The other side of the coin is top notch health care of all sorts for all, subsidized education etc etc.

Eh what, did I miss something? I thought he was just going there for the EPT. What makes you say he now lives here?

grondin cannot lose ~

Exactly why they would pull it a stunt like this

What his refusal to play boiled down to, I'm pretty sure, is that they simply weren't offering him enough for what's probably the most anticipated tv appearance in poker. Also, there is no way full anonymity was truly guaranteed, wearing a mask would have been a silly and useless publicity stunt for their own benefit. What did he have to gain? It would be uncomfortable to play in a mask, and pretty impossible to disguise hair and body type. The height alone would have been a pretty big giveaway, and a complete circus would have ensued if he so much as wanted to go to the bathroom or for a break outside.

A very wild guess on my part is that a certain someone is being approached right now about having his own online room, 'Isildur1', a la Gus used to have when he was the hot young thing. It's the most value he can get from the attention. It's just a matter of whether Blom can be the official endorser.

Grondin will send them to BUSTOOOO TOWN!

The first player voted off the table was ...

hahahaha so owned. amazing ''rule'', didnt even know that. props to partypoker .

I'm here now blogging for Party in the Les A kitchens. Not ideal as I have no sound, but I do have access to the hole cards, which is fun, especially with the 7-2 rule.

Bodo Sbrezny came on to "Baby Got Back". Maximum respect !!

awesome rule; not only it keeps fishes in, but also makes the "regulars" inclined to give and stir alot of action so they dont get voted off by the others, especially if the fish gets annoyed with em just sitting their in big glasses silent.

gonna give a good table-manner / behaviour a big + aswell.
Might actually get to see some hilarious tv, apart from neil channing. He is by far the most annoying player/voice i know.
