from Betfair Poker who are about to play in one of the largest poker
tourneys in Europe, buy in is €10,000 and last time I checked there were
640 runners. First place will see one lucky individual take home over $2
million.
Monte Carlo itself is one of the most expensive places ever- lunch in
the hotel yesterday cost €26 for a tomato and mozerella salad! It is
beautiful though.
Most of our players arrived yesterday and I managed to locate most of
them propping up the free bar at the EPT launch party once they let
people in. The venue was quite a trendy bar called Jimmy's. However as
soon as it turned 9.30 the free bar was over they started charging €200
for a bottle of plonk I even asked in my best francais "vous rigole?" =
are you joking? When I realised they weren't I scrapped the order and
took the remaining players back to the hotel for a night cap there.
Today sees the first day of play. I am heading down to the registration
desk at 11 and will send updates when anything exciting happens.
