EPT versus WPT
On two neighbouring tables we have, at the cost of repeating a phrase, two neighbouring players where one has won a WPT and the other an EPT.
The first example is table 5, the voluptuousness, sassiness and package completing intelligence of Vicky Coren being pitted up against the slightly less voluptous, but just as menacing sight of Erick Lindgren.
Not too far away on table 4, prepare for fireworks from the Forrest fire as recent(ish) WPT victor Ted Forrest takes on the ever-popular Andreas Hoivold of Norway, the latter of the two showing he is more than capable of competing at the highest level after triumphing in the 2006 Baden EPT for a nice meaty six-figure sum.
I can't help but nurture a budding friendship with Hoivold, as many people have agreed that he is a dead ringer for my understudy, Woodstock. After my flesh-hunting eyes spotted Helmuth's female entourage earlier, though, I think there are other chicks I'd rather befriend than Woodstock.
