Quotes of the Day

"You got a lot of these young Scandis here and they are all trying to take the fish out, you know? I like to play good players. I don't like to take a monkey on who doesn't know what day it is. There are a lot of trees in Monte Carlo, so you get quite a number of monkeys standing up." - Devilfish

"I got a lot of chips. How did that happen? Where did they all come from? Did they come from heaven? Did they come from hell? I intend to use them with some kind of intelligence." - Andy Black

Bouncin Round the Room: Raising Machine

Andy Black is running over his table. "He's a raising machine," one media rep from England mentioned. "He's in a creepily intense mode."

Marcel Luske was spotted shaking hands with both fans and players. There was a girl sitting in a chair with a laptop running and her iPod attached. I suspect she was uploading tunes from her favorite Scandi techno-pop group.

Two glasses broke while I made my way back over to Andy Black's table. I wonder how many glasses have been broken since the EPT Championships began?

Chad Brown Takes a Hit

Chad Brown lost a bit of his stack when he doubled up Simon Johansson with set over set. On a board of {J-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{8-Spades}{5-Clubs}, Brown checked and Simon Johanssont bet out 26K. Brown check-raised to 100K. Simon Johansson called for 30K more and flipped over 10-10 as Brown showed 8-8.
