Warming Up

Damn, forgot my axe
Damn, forgot my axe
Players are now beginning to flood into the Hilton Hotel in their droves, the likes of Katja Thater, Jan Boubli and Anthony Lellouche already spotted making their way through the metal detector (I kid you not) and into the cardroom. At what tournament they experienced an 'incident' of metallic origin, I have no idea, but they're playing it very cautious here in the Czech Republic.

Also warming up and doing their stretches before taking on the metal detector are Swedes Ramzi Jelassi, Jonas Molander and former International footballer Tomas Brolin, as well as a small British contingent that includes Chris Moorman, Steven Devlin and EPT Budapest winner Willie Fry.

Play should commence shortly with recent WSOP hero Peter Eastgate starting proceedings with the traditional "shuffle up and deal".
