Reinthal called us over and had a message for the people at home; "Short, a little bit fat, but still happy!"
We agree he's short (7,300) and happy, not sure on the third part of that sentence.

There's a lot of Dutch and Belgian players, and a bunch of Scandinavians as well. And then there's one lone Australian: Sean Henderson.
A quick look at his HendonMob page shows s he's been playing poker for a while now, but the long list of cashes were all on home soil.
Here he is in Malta, on the other end of the world, going for his first cash abroad. He needs to find some good cards and or spots, because he's down to just under 18,000. He told us nothing really had happened to get to that point, just losing small pots mostly.
His neighbor is doing better, Dejan Vogrin in the four-seat has well over 140,000 in front of him. Followers of the Team Henderson fan page on facebook won't be interested in Vogrin though, so we'll keep an eye on both.
