Blogger's Nightmare

Two of the great ladies of poker, Katja Thater and Isabelle Mercier, are sharing a table -- the table right next to the rail in the already cramped and crowded card room. We foresee some strong-arm tactics being required to get through to the tables...

A Few More Notables

It's a veritable who's who of European poker down there today, with an occasional smattering of young Americans.

Among our field for today are Roland De Wolfe, Mark Teltscher, Pascal Perrault, Micke Norinder, Sebastian Ruthenberg, Peter Gould and Ramzi Jelassi. Representin' for the North American continent we have EPT London winner Michael Martin, Joseph Serock and Sorel Mizzi.

Delayed Start

You thought we'd start on time? P'shaw! This is poker! As is par for the course on the tournament circuit, very few players are in their seats for an on-time start-- most are still milling around and conversing with one another on the casino floor.

Welcome Back to the Casino Poland

Good afternoon and welcome back to the Casino Poland for Day 1B of the PokerStars.com EPT Warsaw. We're expecting a bit of a larger starting field today, with Team PokerStars Pros Isabelle Mercier, Alex Kravchenko, Dario Minieri, Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier, Luca Pagano, Katja Thater, William Thorson and Marcin Horecki scheduled to take to the felt on this cloudy Polish afternoon.

Action should be underway in about thirty minutes, give or take. Stay tuned!
