Amfar charity event

Poker is also about friendship, relaxation and generosity ...

These Charity tournaments where half of the funds go to great causes should be more frequent in Europe also ...

And what a privilege to be able to distract ourselves thinking about tonight we may have accelerated the saving of many lives !

Every day it bothers me that I live in such a small country where politics always deal with great causes in the world and have not yet been able to rid our streets of the last homeless people.

I sometimes dream that poker would achieve this ... Ah if only we could organize an "empty streets" national tournament, what a magnificent lesson poker would give ...

Here at the Amfar the evening was enjoyable, Vanessa charming, disappeared too soon from the table and my new "friend" William offered a re-buy of 6000$ to be able to continue playing.

After I had the pleasure of eliminating him, and above all to receive his thanks (at last) for having offered him all my chips in Dortmund when the strict rules of his folded hand was to my advantage.

Daniel was at his fourth beer ... party poker ... my pocket 5 with a 5 on the board did not allow me to take advantage of this until the end ... the same happened to Humberto whose shark was sinking ... well anyway, it was still a poker tournament !
