Monte Carlo, WSOP and Jamie Gold
Mayo 11, 2009Sorry that it's been a while since the last blog.
Been really busy with everything lately, so there haven't been time to put the pen to the paper.
Ok, first - Monte Carlo
Wow Wow Wow, what a city!!Nice cars, boats, restaurants and hotels every where...!
The EPT Monte Carlo (grand final) was held at the Monte Carlo Bay Hotel (picture) and it's an event that no poker player should miss! The venue to host the grand final could not be more perfect, and the organizers also did a great job imo!
Monte Carlo BayOur own Annette Obrestad finished in 13th place after her aces got busted by 99 in a monsterpot.
Oh well..next time Annette!Right now we are preparing for the WSOP, and what a couple of months it's going to be! We are sending approx 40 players and most of them could win any event they sign up for. What a scenario it would be with more then 1 Poker Icons player on the same final table(s)!
In closing I just want to say that we are really happy to just have signed Jamie Gold to Poker Icons - and we are thrilled to be able to partner up with him!
The first thing happening is Jamie being a co-host with Edward Norton (the actor) during a charity event in Cannes... (read more about the charity event here)

I wont quit my day job - I am a terrible singer!
Febrero 24, 2009Ok, so me, Annette Obrestad, Arnaud Mattern and a group of others had our Sing Star challenge.
First of all, let me tell you - it was super rigged! They only had ABBA and Danish songs (and a few classics) - and you would have thought that Annette (being only 20) never heard these songs right? WRONG! She knew them all by heart and never missed a tone!
She beat everybody in the club and I actually think she broke the Danish-sing-star-record or something...
Thank God everybody forgot that it was suppose to be a high stakes sing star challenge, we probably saved our bankroll on that.
Anyways, we left the club with our mouths completly blue after some weird (but kinda tasty) drinks and headed for a VIP party. That party was as stacked as a party could ever be. Annette, Ilari, Eastgate, Lodden, Hougaard, Kongsgaard, (William) Thorson, (Thor) Hansen, (Nebuchad) Danielsson + + + +
The mood was good and we rounded off the evening with some Danish delicious sausages at the local Delhi (Denmark are famous for their sausages)...
Got up early next day and took a flight back home to Oslo where it's stiiiiill snowing

Poker Icons Lounge preparation
Febrero 14, 2009( High Stakes Sing Star challenge coming up )
We are having a Poker Icons VIP lounge for our players, partners and friends during the Pokerstars EPT Copenhagen, and the event hotel is killing us!
How can they justify charging $2400 just for serving coffee for 2 days??
I'm not even gonna mention what they are charging us for the rest (beverages, snacks etc etc)...
Anyway, so there is a billion things to take care of for the lounge - but thank god we got people who have done it before and know the drill (thanks Allan!).
Having a poker agency lounge is something new at the EPT (thanks to the EPT organizers for allowing it), and we hope the visitors will like it.
We are sending anything from 10 to 30+ players to each EPT event and want to take care of them the best way possible. After all, being a high paid poker pro is no picnic so we can at least ease the burden by doing this
No seriously, it's something we have are thrilled to do as it's a nice way of bringing together the agency, players, partners and friends...Looking forward to coming to "warm" Copenhagen and escaping the snow madness going on outside my door for a week.
Haven't snowed this much for 40 years they tell meBtw, Poker Icons is now on Facebook also
