On the Piste
Naturally, your intrepid update team of Dana and myself will be nicely tucked up in the warmth of the luxurious Apline Palace Hotel, keenly keeping our eyes peeled on the second event of the PokerNews Cup Alpine, a €50+5 no limit Hold'em rebuy.
There are plenty of unfamiliar faces looking to make a name for themselves this week, but among the rabble are a selection of immediately recognisable figures, including Tony G, Liv Boeree and bracelet winner Mark Vos, the latter of whom last spotted downing something that resembled toilet cleaner in his room yesterday afternoon.
It's currently 11am here in Austria, but play doesn't officially commence until 2pm, so please consider this your complimentary warm-up and we'll see you in a few hours time. Until then, enjoy your central heating! Brr.
