PCA 2014: Playing poker in Ole Schemion's living room



If you didn't already know, whilst it's going to seem like the High Roller final table is being played within the Imperial Ballroom of Atlantis, it's actually being played in Ole Schemion's living room.

It's an informal affair and Schemion, wearing comfortable shorts and t-shirt, is the very best host, happy to let people make themselves comfortable, just as he does. His shoes are kicked off and his skateboard is upturned at the floor next to his chair.

There's a peaceful feel to all of the event even though, compared to the tv stage, they sit squashed around a regulation size table. There are empty coffee cups lying around, in addition to multiple banana skins, coke cans, napkins, a box that after contained salad. What's more, Schemion has invited friends to come back and watch, and every of them slouches in a chair along the rail, eating and drinking. There may be even a large screen TV on the end of the room.

Back within the real world and these High Rollers play on amid relaxed scenes of inactivity. There was little movement barring the departure of Joao Vieira in eighth place. His swan dive was in slow motion, having gone from as regards to the chip lead at the beginning of the day to the eighth place finisher, his last hand of pocket nines running into the kings of Mizrachi.

The lead meanwhile changes hands, from Vanessa Selbst, to Mustapha Kanit, to Robert Mizrachi. None says much, or alters their facial expression, except, presumably, when more coffee, coke or bananas arrive.

We expect more of the similar for the foreseeable future.
