"Baaaaaaaarcelona!"

In 1988, Freddie Mercury sang about Barcelona and how "it was the first time that we met", but if he'd been around today he may have added "but you didn't have any flippin' WiFi!" Sadly, the luxuries of yesterday are now no more than a distant memory as the wireless Internet here in the press room is well and truly kaput. We do have a number of Ethernet cables at hand, although not enough to cater for the entire PokerNews team, so the show must, and will, go on.

In the meantime, the second batch of day one players are slowly trickling their way into the card room, the likes of Trond Eidsvig, Julian Thew, Katja Thater, William Thorson, and former Tennis star Sergio Bruguera just a handful of the names penciled in for today.
