It's almost time for the final!
It is quiet with just the sounds of quiet conversations going on around the room. At the far end of the main hall in the Casino Barriere the organisers have built up an impressive main stage. On one side of the stage you have the coveted trophy and on the other you have an iced bowl of drinks for the players.
Alex Wice is dancing to the sounds of Rihanna in the background. He has his familiar purple woollen hat on with a set of white headphones over the top. Kaspars Renga is deep in conversation with Ruslan Pryryk. Anthony Hnatow has just arrived into the hall being pursued by a cameraman. Julien Claudepierre is leant against a table with his headphones draped around his neck. Our chip leader Martin Jocobson is missing his trademark white cap but looks very smart for this special occasion and Lucie Cohen is just pacing backwards and forwards, chewing gum no doubt dreaming about the next few hours of play.
Tournament Director Thomas Kremser has just called everyone to take their seats and the flashes from the cameras are buzzing around the room
It is nearly time for the final.
