Who's Here On Time?
Scattered among the 1,600 or so hopefuls who have made it into the Pavilion Room for shuffle-up-and-deal o'clock are a few well-known faces from across the pond.
Representing the UK, former Irish Open champion Neil Channing and young up-and-comer James Keys are getting stuck in. From Belgium, we have 2008 PLH bracelet winner Davidi Kitai, and from just across the border in France, his buddy Nicolas "Hat Pimp" Levi. Andreas Hoivold, whom you might remember from High Stakes Poker, is flying the flag for Norway, and Greece is represented by young Georgios Kapalas who finalled at EPT Barcelona last season.
All this, and we fully expect a bunch of still slightly jetlagged Europlayers to stumble dazedly in before the first break.
