On Yer Bus

[user66118]

That pesky volcanic cloud spinning off Iceland has grounded all flights out of the United Kingdom until at least 6:00pm this evening. That presents a problem for a number of players who are stuck now in London en route to this event, stuck either at the airport or at Paddington Station. Among those stranded without a way here are Peter Eastgate, Jason Mercier, Barry Greenstein, James Akenhead, and Chris Moorman.

PokerStars to the rescue!

From our spot in the media room, we can hear the staff scrambling to come up with a good solution. They've just booked a coach bus in London, and it's going to pick up the players and start the trek towards San Remo. We figure it's about 20 hours by bus, so we expect to see a few sleep-eyed players roll in at about 12:15pm tomorrow. That'll give them just enough time to take their seats before registration closes.

Talk about cutting it close. Either way, we'd give a day's wages to be on that bus ride.
