We’ve had a lovely 5 days in Nice (France) and 2 days in San Remo (Italy). I haven’t had time to write a blog entry, but it’s all been great, except for playing two satellites here and failing to win a seat into the main event. But I bought in with cash today (5300 Euros, about $7,000) and I’ll be playing tomorrow at noon. They had 585 players today for day 1A, and my day 1B will probably be a little bigger - so probably over 1200 players total.

We found out today that Chad and Vanessa are staying in the apartment next to ours (as in, we can bang on the wall if their TV is too loud). Chad played today and had three nasty coolers to bust out mid-day, and Vanessa will be playing with me on day 1B. We had a very nice dinner with them tonight at which we managed not to bore Rachel *too* much by talking about poker-poker-poker.

So if you’re up at 3AM west coast time (more like 3:30 because everything starts late here), say a little poker prayer for me. I don’t think I’ll have wifi access, so I’ll probably have to just post a report at the end of the day. There will be live coverage on the pokerstars blog, which I can’t get to because I get diverted to the Italian language version, so I can’t post a link. Maybe pokerpages has coverage too. If one of you is industrious enough to find it, perhaps you can post it in a comment here.

[edit: pokernews live coverage will be HERE]

we found the best gelato in Nice - still searching in San Remo…
