Berlin aint that far to travel for a decent game now is it! How would admin feel about helping a few mobsters to get into some live tournys? either in london or in euro land?

Kfir Yumin from Israel accumulated 213,500 chips during Day 1a of the tournament Thats great for him but how oftern does the first day leader win a big tourny like this? not oftern by my reconing. but i wish him good luck as i do to all the pthers..
