Lobby Action

[user46392]

The lobby of the Hyatt Regency is currently full of milling poker players, including Kara Scott, EPT Budapest winner Will Fry and Gavin Griffin. With only 10 minutes to go until the official start time, it looks as though they might be starting a few minutes late, but efforts will no doubt shortly be made to usher the players down two floors to the Casino Poland, buried deep underneath the hotel.

EPT Warsaw Begins Today

[user46392]

Hello and welcome to Poland, home of interesting sausages, vodka breakfasts and the Warsaw EPT. This charming Eastern European city is about to be invaded by an expected capacity field of poker players from all around the world, including Team PokerStars pros Dario Minieri, Humberto Brenes, Isabelle Mercier, Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier, Katja Thater and Gavin Griffin. With the buy-in at an impressive-sounding 20,000 zloty (a slightly less impressive-sounding $6,780), someone will surely be a zloty multi-millionaire by the end of the tournament, as well as being crowned the poker king or queen of Poland.

Watch this space from 2pm local time for live updates straight from the card room floor.
