They had poker on the plane, so I went ahead and played … as sbrugby.

yellowsub86 was one row ahead of me on the ATL-PARIS flight. Stoweski partially blocked to his left.

sbrugby obv backdoors the straight. And gets paid off by T-high.

sub and stow waiting in the passport line. sub’s dad found us a great way around the line (we went through the swiss passport section), so props to him.

They made me put my coke through security at the helicopter check-in. And yes, it still had liquid in it. Spilled a bit. Luckily my balla watch in the other tray was preserved without getting spilled on.

Our helicopter after we landed, unloading our bags.

It isn’t unusual at all to just see Bentleys all over the road, such as this one in front of us.

Jeff and his welcome screen.

The view from our hotel balcony.

Yea, I brought a few cords and electronics here and there.

I just got here today. I’m doing some coverage of the EPT event that starts tomorrow… tons of pics and whatnot to come.

For now, a self-taken picture on the helipad at the Nice airport. ActionJeff, shaniac, supernova9/Ansky and I took a helicopter to Monte Carlo from Nice — about 10-15 min helicopter ride.

We have an initial version of the new thepokerdb online at Bluff Magazine.

Important things to note!
1. We haven’t synchronized the two databases yet. Bluff uses a separate collection system, which means that some tournaments might be missing from there that are in the current thepokerdb and vice versa. We are aware of this and the databases will be synchronized soon.
2. If you were a thepokerdb user prior to Feb 12th, your account should work on the Bluff site. If you signed up after that point, your account will not exist on the Bluff site until we shut down registration here and transfer our user list over. That should happen in the next few days.

The bottom line is that we want you to take a look around the Bluff site. Tell us if you notice something incorrect, but PLEASE do not report missing tournaments because we are aware that the sites, individually, are not running with 100% precision — yet.
