Patrik famously arrived five hours late to this event a couple of years ago and went on to turn his blind-decimated stack into a win worth nearly €300,000. Interestingly, he has not cashed in an EPT since. Maybe he should have slept in?

There has already been some confusion regarding how string bets are determined in Europe versus America. Barny Boatman set one young American straight with a quick lesson on how it is done.

Alan Smurfit and Marcel Luske were deep in conversation as I passed them, discussing their respective tailors, no doubt.

Struggling early are Vanessa Rousso with 5,000 in chips and Surinder Sunar with 2,500. Recent WSOPE winner Annette Obrestad has also lost a significant portion of her starting stack and is currently down to 5,500.
