Not Yet, But Soon

The tournament are is absolutely full of players and press swapping war stories, but so far they're not playing as there is still some dispute over the stacks.

The best commentary came from Ilya Gorodetskiy. "Eh, I am from Russia. We had a civil war in the streets not long ago. Did I tell you that I was the victim of one of the biggest armed robberies ever in Moscow a few years ago...?"

Super Sat Suspended

By the way, the super-sat to EPT Monte Carlo which was scheduled to start at 9pm tonight has been cancelled. Anyone hoping to play that is just going to have to hit the online tables or get themselves to Monte the old-fashioned way.

The players are back in the tournament area now, attempting to figure out how many chips they're meant to have under the supervision of TD Thomas Kremser. We have no idea how long that's going to take, but hopefully it won't be too long.

...Or Not

TD Thomas Kremser just now announced that the ladies' event and the €1,000 NLH have been cancelled. It appears that all the short stacks unregistered and it was deemed unfair to continue. There's no word on what happens for the people already busted.

All the side events have now restarted. Any players in the ladies' event and the €1k NLH who do not want to continue have been offered their buy-ins back if they wish to unregister.

The main event will be starting up again in 15 minutes or so.
