There's a €1k/€2k cashgame going on at the moment in Monte Carlo. PokerStars is livestreaming it via PokerStars.tv (or direct VLC streaming link). Before the break (for another 20 minutes) the line-up was like this:

Seat 1: Viktor Blom
Seat 2: Talal Shakerchi
Seat 3: Niklas Heinecker
Seat 4: Sam Trickett
Seat 5: Isaac Haxton
Seat 6: Paul Newey

All bought in for €500,000 initially but Haxton doubled through Shakerchi early on with a flopped flush. This was not streamed because the Main Event was still going on. Shakerchi bought back in for €750.000 and picked a new seat on the table. Blinds are €1.000/€2.000 with a straddle to €4.000 from time to time. The word is that Phil Ivey will join after the break. I uploaded the first part to YouTube:

To lazy to google, who's Talal Shakerchi and Paul Newey? I learned Niklas Heinecker is ragen70.

Surprised not more famous names are in line for such a huge cashgame.

Shakerchi is some rich business guy from the UK, plays most of the super high rollers on the EPT as well and won the high roller few weeks ago at EPT londo. Paul Newey I heard just sold his company (forgot name) for a bunch of millions. Both are def. not professional players so surprised as well this game didnt get more players.

FT today at EPT with Negreanu, Lodden, Mercier, Cody, Noah Schwartz. Raszi in the booth for comms at the moment:

thanks for posting, I saw on 2+2 your links the other day.

I have learned from poker that being at the table is not a grind, the grind is living and poker is how I pass the time
