Welcome Djinn and Danafish and good luck with this assignment, which will no doubt be another odd tale to add to your live updating memoirs.

Thank you very much Mr APAT, it"s good to be here.

Greetings pokerfans from the Holland Casino Amsterdam! We are all set up in our makeshift curtained press cave, ready to update as far as the rather unusual press restrictions will allow.

So far spotted today are Julian Thew, eating off a heavy night at the cheapalicious Wok 2 Walk on Leidsestraat. Not spotted but I understand bought in in spite of misreading his flight"s arrival time as its departure time and therefore missing said flight is Mr Mickey Wernick. Spotted last night in the street and now listed on the player list as being Dutch is Mr Roy Brindley.

More news as soon as the tournament gets going at 3pm (2pm UK time), and photos as soon as we"re able.

[Djinn]

OK! We"re set to bring you updates on probably everyone you think is playing today -the event sold out some hours ago - live from the Holland Casino in lovely Amsterdam.  The new regulations regarding the press are stringent - we are not actually allowed into the poker area (i.e. between the tables) unescorted, and we need to take turns to be so escorted, so pictures and stories are mainly going to come from those lucky players nearest the rail and therefore most easily scrutinised.  Lucky them!

Spotted loitering on the red carpet outside (literally):  
Noah Boeken
Marcel Luske
Patrick Bruel
Nicolas Levi
Arnaud Mattern
Johnny Lodden
Mikey Tse
Simon Hennessey
Keith Hawkins

People are flooding in and it looks like the beginning of the tournament will be a bit frenzied - just logistically - as the structure of this one is one of the best around.

[lukybugur]

Noah Boeken to win

[swordfish]

I"ll go for Johnny Lodden.

[hollaboo]

jonny lodden for me
