Anna Wroblewski Arrives....

Anna Wroblewski arrived 40 minutes late. She wandered around looking for her table and took her seat... to the left of Shane Warne. We're pretty sure she has no idea about Warne's significane in the cricket world, and we're also certain that he has no idea that the "Poker Pixie" made two final tables at the Aussie Millions so far this year. Alex Kravchenko is also at that table... which we'll keep an eye on for sure.
