The Fashion Report: Day 1a

George Danzer and his beloved scarf
George Danzer and his beloved scarf
We here at PokerNews would like to welcome George Danzer's scarf back to the tournament circuit. I was worried when I saw him doing commentating duties sans neckwear at the EPT's Copenhagen stop a few months back, but he assured me that the scarf would be making a return.

"The scarf is only for tournaments," he explained.

Another signature piece I noticed missing was Nicolas Levi's cream-colored fedora. The Frenchman instead chose a gray number with white stripes for the EPT Grand Final. Let's hope this one is as lucky for Levi as the other has been.

In a sea of patterned hoodies (everything from camouflage to L.A. Dodgers' logos) two impeccably-dressed gentlemen immediately stand out -- EPT Prague runner-up Gino Alacqua, and Marcel Luske, both donning sharp black suits. This is Monte Carlo, after all.

And in my... let's call it "special" category today, we have two gentlemen whose identies I'll kindly conceal. One is a boisterous, talktative Brit in a silk jacquard shirt that is an absolutely eye-scorching purple. The other is a pink-haired chap rumored to be a Polish rock star. He's certainly dressing the part in a silver lamé motorcycle jacket with grommet details, white polyester wind pants decorated with dozens of zippers and fierce-looking black boots dotted with silver spikes.
