It’s 12:10 PM and we are just about to commence play at the Million Pound Challenge. There are 80 players at the Hellenic Centre, playing for a chance to win £1 million.
These 80 are the tip of a very big iceberg of European Full Tilt players. There were nearly 21,000 entries into tournaments that brought these 80 players here. This group will play to a final table of 6 by the end of today.

I have a lot of business to attend to in London these next few weeks – all the Full Tilt events I’ll be covering but my new business venture, see infra – so let’s get our cards on the table so to speak. I’ve thought about this long and hard, both from a personal, professional, and family standpoint on the one hand (or is that three hands?), and from a sticking-it-to-a-repressive-government-that’s-out-to-needless-wreck-online-poker on the other hand.

My apologies for the lapse in correspondence. Things are about to get very busy for me and this Blog, busier than you could ever imagine. First, the Blog is going through some operational changes. These are taking some time to iron out. Second, I am preparing to go to London on Friday, September 12. From there, I will be writing about Full Tilt’s Million Pound Challenge, the Million Dollar Cash Game, One-on-One with Patrik Antonius, and I’ll be playing in and writing about the Second World Series of Poker-Europe.
I also have a secret to share.
