It’s all happening here. And I can’t believe that I was sitting in a voiceover booth in Maidstone when Luke Schwartz decimated Erik Seidel’s stack in the WPT and then got called out by Phil Ivey for excessive needling.
Yesterday saw the WPT London field whittled down to just 38 survivors, with big guns such as Phil Ivey and Erik Seidel falling by the wayside. Italian PartyPoker.it pro Giovanni Safina dealt with the demanding conditions best as he ascended to the chip lead to finish the day atop the rankings.
The second day of WPT London played out yesterday at the Palm Beach casino and once again, some compelling poker took place as a host of star names locked horns across the felt with 94 players arriving to take their shot at glory.
Tony G is in the house – I am planning to make my entrance to the WPT London Poker Classic after the dinner break this evening. The reason I am taking to the tables late? No, I haven’t got all Hellmuth and gone shopping for a Julius Casear costume - I am plotting!
This is it. The next time you hear from me, I’ll be back in London on the set of the London WPT! I’m really excited about this event and I’m glad that I’ll be there a day before we start filming so that I can get over a bit of the jet lag but also so I can have a wander around the tournaments before they get to final table stages. I love being able to get a feel for the ’story’ of a tournament.
He was flying around the room. Tony G, fresh off a trouncing of The Big Game in Vegas, was in full form last night at The Mayfair Hotel in London’s West End in preparation for the WPT London which kicks off this week. “Daniel’s game?” he shouted. “It was my game! I owned it, I thrashed them, I tore them up!” And tearing them up is something Tony has been doing with his mouth since he appeared upon the scene.

I’ve been in Melbourne for the Victorian Championship since Monday night and played a couple of the side events so far. The first event I played was the NLH/PLO $240/100 rebuy, I was expecting quite a big field but I think it’s fair to say that the field size was a fairly disappointing less than 50.
