CAMBRIDGE, ENGLAND-There might be a Scandi out there wondering who at the Scandi Masters won the crown. Hate to tell you....PartyPoker and Off the Wall Productions won't let you know until October when it is aired on Scandinavian Channel 5 television. I can tell you the final table began at 1 p.m. and ended around 8:30 p.m. and that once poker play had officially ended, Brocket Hall released the alcohol...mostly beer and wine, but Aki Pyysing had stashed some Scotch Whisky and was willing to share. We had been dry since the beginning of the week. Private cash games of Chinese poker and Hold'em broke out, Scandinavian rap music blasted about, and things otherwise just got quite drinky. The celebration was still going strong when I left Brocket at 5:3o a.m.
In all despite jet lag and the overall Scandi language barrier, I enjoyed the tournament held in a British mansion with a scandalous past.
P.S. I just found out that parts of The Omen II (scenes of the American Ambassadors residence) were filmed at Brocket.
