The TV table is on a kind of raised stage, which together with the holecardcamerafilled edge makes it impossible to see anything at all from the floor. We are getting our flop info from the monitors all over the casino. At least you know that when we report the cards, they"re actually accurate...
To be honest this has been one of the worst tournaments to cover access-wise I"ve attended in years, but interesting nonetheless.

The table also appears to be tipped at a bit of an angle towards the main casino floor, which means that if we stand at the less-crowded sides of the table as opposed to at the front, there is no view of the felt at all, let alone fripperies like flops and bets. Sigh. Off-the-monitor snaps are our best bet, I"m afraid.

Hello.
Isn"t Tony Bloom petit, you don"t realise it until you see him.

I know! That lady standing by him as he waits to make his Entrance is just regular-sized, I checked.
danafish:
A massive hand between Michael Martin and Trond Eidsvig, and not a card that we were allowed to see.
Michael raises.
Trond re-raises, to well over 100k.
Michael tanks up. There is some discussion with the dealer; perhaps they are threatening to call the clock. He does something a bit unexpected after a dwell like that, though - he re-re-raises to around 400k.
Trond looks ill. Suddenly his good humour has evaporated. He considers for some time (no clock-calling is threatened, by the look of it), but folds.
If by some miracle Michael wasn"t chip leader before, he very definitely is now.
danafish:
Tristan has been attempting to get busy the past few hands, but shortstacked, his only move is all in before the flop, and no-one has taken the bait yet. He has to find a caller sooner or later though.
snoopy1239:
I recall Tristan from the World Series. I think he got in the money if I remember correctly. Scottish lad I believe, or was he Irish? Well, one of the two anyhow, definitely not Welsh!
