TILT! No internet.
Here's what my first post would look like:
Ok, I made it to the pressroom!
I met Bjorn Verbakel, our dutch team member on my way. They took off his logos saying no logos are allowed here :(. Ill be sure to ask for confirmation about this.
Also met Nani74. He seemed more then ready to win some chips today.
Play will start soon.
Good luck to all the players!

Still no internet.
Not much I can do here now.
Tournament area here I come!
12:22
Play just started.
Indeed no logos are allowed at all.
Team PokerStrategy.com members: Schnibl0r, Bjorn, Nazgul, Allanon will be playing today.
Other members I saw so far: Nani74, Blumenkind
When applying for media credentials they told me there was limited space in the press room.
Indeed the press room is rather small but the real shock is the size of the tournament area.
Some would call it "cosy" but it's by far the smallest one I've ever seen which is really weird since they're allowing 1000 people to register.
I remember there being plans for a big glass palace for the players to play in. Guess that's not happening.
One thing is for sure. The room is full right now and tomorrow there will be more players for sure.
Thomas Kremser announced they need to lose about half of the field today.
We will have 9 levels of each one hour, with 15 minute breaks after each 2 levels.
After level 6 there will be a dinner break meaning the coverage will go on til about 12PM
12:33
Damn you 404!
Back to the tournament area!

Also spotted: Black Member Holger "Tonding" Kanisch, Nasr El nasr, and Abnoe, who has had Aces twice and Queens and Jacks once.
