We will today have three players in a RedKings shirt, two of them making their first appearance on the EPT tour. They are both qualifiers and one of them is only 18 years old!

Sampsa Hytönen, was here early today to warm up his best part of the genius and young pokerbrain he

has. He also tells me that he has had a good night sleep, and everything feels perfect for hopefully a very long day of poker. Of course we also have our German qualifier Benjamin Schaub playing today. I got the privilege to share a Heineken with him yesterday, and it was hard to understand that this is his first EPT appearance , he was very relaxed, of course a little bit nervous but they all say that is a good thing. He has driven his car here from Germany, so we know he has the right patience

Then we have Toni, of course, who always have the same confident style, which only a real poker pro can have. The players are now starting to get into the tournament area, and in a couple of minutes we will hear chips scrambling everywhere, you got to love that!

Stay tuned for more updates!
