Jan Heitmann Doesn't Know Whether to Disagree
The ever-amiable German pro Jan Heitmann is already getting involved while signing his player release form and getting to know his table. For some reason they've included a rather odd gambling-related questionnaire with a strongly agree-strongly disagree scale. As most people are, he's bemused by it.
"As a gambler, you must be able to identify swings. Strongly agree, strongly disagree - I'm not sure!" he chuckled. "I think there should be a golf question."
Heitmann is one of few Team PokerStars Pros to grace the downstairs (normally cash game) area at the moment. Those who didn't make it quite in time for kickoff at noon are still lining up neatly in the stairwell waiting to get their seat assignments. Among them a patient James Keys waiting to join a strong British contingent including Praz Bansi, James Akenhead, Jake Cody and JP Kelly.
