Well at first I wanted to use "You gotta be kidding me", but that was not due to the fact that I seen her but rather the funny circumstances. We were close to the money in the EPT Berlin Main Event and the 2k side event already started, I sat in the blogger lounge and just had a coffee ... and who comes in? Yes, of course the PokerStars Pro Liv Boeree :)
The bottle of water usually costs 5€ for the players and she wanted to pick one out of the fridge, we bloggers usually get them for free in the lounge and he looked at her and asked if she was a blogger (lol). I was a few meters away and almost laughed my ass off when he wanted to charge her the 5 bucks and didn't know who she was, so I walked over and picked one bottle. The waiter still wanted to charge her but we kinda managed to get away with it, since I actually had my press pass ... a little smalltalk about the following picture on Facebook and "best of luck" for the side event.
This picture was a snapshot from our french photographer Hugues Fournaise (copyright @ RiverTells) at the EPT Snowfest a few days ago and I uploaded it on Facebook, since it was a really nice picture. I tagged her and didn't really expect anything, but a few days later I got the notification that she used it as her profile picture :)
One of the reasons why I like my job hehe - and best of luck to Liv Boeree at the 2k side event @ EPT Berlin right now :)
Koen De Visscher and Paco Torres from Team770 also survived Day 2 with 119 left and are both in the money, they will return tomorrow at 12.00 local time when we once again hear "Shuffle up and deal". Today was not as long as Day 1a and Day 1b, time to get some other remaining work done and prepare for Day 3 of the Main Event.
