The picture above is one of the reasons why I have not been as active as I used to and also won’t be as active in the near future either. I already mentioned earlier that I picked up a part time job and got offered the opportunity to do some live event coverage for Poker770 (an iPoker skin) as well. In the past few days and also today and tomorrow, I am posting online updates from the EPT Snowfest at Saalbach / Hinterglemm since it was too short of a notice to travel to Austria.
Instead, I will be travelling to Austria early on Saturday to cover the WPT Vienna and Team770, I got full media credentials and gonna report directly from the Montesino casino – it is a 4 day event and the final table will be played on March 29th, thus I will travel back home on Wednesday March 30th. It is actually the first time that I will cover such a live event (private games don’t count, after all this is a WPT event) and I am really looking forward to it.
I will have the opportunity to meet up with some friends at Vienna and will also see those familiar faces that you usually just see on TV and take photos … can’t wait to see Liv Boeree in action hehe. Two of the Team770 members also cashed at the EPT Snowfest and Cynthia Foresti finished 64th, whilst Koen De Visscher will be fighting today on Day 4 to earn his seat at the final table tomorrow. He currently starts into the last 24 as 8th in chip count.

Koen De Visscher, Team770 Pro (BEL)
If you want to see the updates and pictures, you can head over to the Team770 Blog and check the pictures, it is also available in different languages as well and a colleague from Belgium is covering the English part. In fact it means that I am working 12-14h per day (especially towards month end on Pokerspace as well), this might seem like a torture for some but I appreciate the opportunity and enjoy my work.
The next stop will be the EPT Berlin early in April 2011 and from there we’ll see, I am also still writing one article for the GX Poker Magazine and check an existing translation for a poker website as well. It can be a bit frustrating that I barely got time to play poker anymore and I just play some Omaha (Hi and Hi Lo) or Seven Card Stud or HU SNG, but it was way too tempting to pass on this opportunity.
