After 2 x solid days of travel we have landed in Melbourne and checked in to the magnificant Crown Casino. Fully modern, amazingly tastefull, located in a part of town that is full of cafe's, bar's and resturants. The place is buzzing. This was worth the journey.
Within minutes of arriving into the casino itself a $100,000 2 x table tourney is just starting.
Table 1. From the button.

Jeff Lisandro
Eric Lindgren
Joe Regina ( Melbourne)
David Benyamine
Lee Neilson
John Juanda
Tony G
Tony Bloom (cant believe he's so small)

Table 2. From the button.
Daniel Nygreanu
Kagawa Masaaki (Japan)
Phil Ivey
Gus Hansen
Eric Seidel
Roland de Wolf
Mario Samparna (owner of mansion)
Jason Grey ( sydney )
Kevin O Donnell (Arizona)

Tournament had started only minutes when Mike The Mouth and John D'Augostino arrived.
Mike did'nt want to play but young John asked if he could play. The director who was standing right beside me said yes we will deduct 1 x blind. Great said John which table. $100.500 please said the director, dont have it on me said John. You cant play then explains the director. John kind of shocked looking approaches table 1, David Bejyamine jumps up from the table and immediately says to the director to put the guy in and he would give a cheque at the break. Director no can do. John says I'll be back in 10mins.

Not to mention it was a speed tourny, with some of the worlds best being the majority of the runners. Real value there
