EPT San Remo

I always "now & again" post something happening or that has happened in the poker world. Right now one of Ireland's best players (this comes from other pro players) Jason Tomkins or Blaaaaah666 as he is better known on twitter, has made the final table of the EPT San Remo (to add to a final table at this years WSOP). A cool €800k awaits the winner and there is a live stream somewhere on pokerstars, so if you have nothing to do, Virtual Rail the Irish man to the win!

Here is the link, which i believe is an hour behind but shows the hole cards, kicking off at 3pm.
