Side Action of Different Sorts
![[user46298]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
1) There is a €600 (plus one €550 rebuy) tournament starting right now, with half hour levels and 4,000 stacks which will bring an even greater number of players deep into the evening here in the Kursalon than would have been here surviving Day 1A.
2) Pier Paolo Fabretti isn't the only player who looks like he's concentrating more on the shiny wonder of his ipad than the game at hand, but whatever he's got going on that screen is frenetic, brightly coloured, and needs constant hand swiping to keep going. If wagering I would guess Angry Birds might be involved (without of course peering over his shoulder which is not the done thing). At least five others are dividing their attention between this €5k buy-in event, Facebook, small movies and amusing comments from other social media.
3) Side bets and last-longers: although we haven't had concrete proof, word has it that there are quite a few four-figure bets floating around made on which of a group goes deepest in this event. It's a five dayer so potentially that money will be on hold a while.
