Vincent Secher -- Camping Out on the Cote d'Azur

France's Vincent Secher is playing the EPT Monte Carlo courtesy of a last-minute satellite win on Poker Stars. The package he won included only his buy-in, so he and a friend traveled down to the Cote d'Azur the day before the tournament, hoping to score a hotel room in Monaco. Unfortunately for him, everything was completely booked.

What to do now? Pitch a tent, of course!

It's true -- Secher has been staying at an 18 euro/night campsite and sleeping in a tent for the last four days. He looks remarkably refreshed for having slept outside and though I'm usually quite the fashion critic, I'll have to forgive the red and white picnic tablecloth he appears to be wearing on his head.

If he survives the bubble, perhaps he'll spring for a suite?
