Not everyone is entering today's event in fine fettle. PokerStars Team Pro: France Arnaud Mattern has his foot resting on seat 10, not because he's uncouth, but because he's sporting a broken ankle. "Are we going to stay nine-handed?" he inquires with fingers crossed.
"I broke it playing tennis," he explains. "The ball was heading right for my, you know [he gestures towards the groin area], and when I jumped out of the way I landed awkwardly. I'd rather have my balls in tact though."
On the plus side, Mattern now has a new place to stick some more PokerStars patches, which he has utilized to good effect with his cast now working as a billboard.
