You may have heard something about the decision to ban T-shirts bearing political slogans at the EPT. We won’t rehash all the details here as the debate is still raging in the blogsphere.
At one of the outer tables sits Robin Ylitalo and the problem is not a T-shirt, rather it is his hat bearing the slogan, “Go F#ck Your Selfie.”
Cameras are wandering the floor to capture key hands and one of the production crew confirmed to us that it was not suitable for broadcast. If it did appear in shot it would be most likely have to be blurred out.
At the time of going to press we can confirm that the hat is still perched on top of Ylitalo’s head and his courageous one man protest against the invidious selfie craze continues. We will keep you abreast of developments as and when they happen.

We arrived at the table to see an angry Sergey Frizyak on his feet loudly insisting that his opponent’s cards were dead and that he should be awarded the pot. The floor was called and the dealer explained what had happened.
Berthold Winz opened the action for 13,000 and Frizyak had moved all in. The dealer had thought she had heard Winz say, “Fold.” and turn his cards face up to show what he was folding which was .
