Full Tilt Professional Viktor Blom has entered the building. Such is his aura that at least three people on his table have already fainted from simply being in his presence.* For a man who usually has million dollar swings every day, how will he fare in the UKIPT?

"Mad" Marty Wilson has been one of the most enthusiastic people in attendance here at the FTP UKIPT Galway Festival. He's usually in the Players' Lounge coordinating billiard tournaments, but today he is in action at the same table as Simon Trumper, who is a well-known tournament director in the UK. The two friends recently squared off in a rather entertaining hand.
It began when Wilson opened for 700 from early position and Trumper called from the big blind. Both players checked the flop and then Wilson, in his lovable voice, began to shout, "Taxi for Trumper. Taxi for Trumper."
Trumper proceeded to check the 
turn and then called when Wilson min-bet 300. When the completed the board on the river, Trumper led out for 600 and Wilson snap called with the . It was good as Trumper sent his cards to the muck.
"Taxi for Trumper," Wilson continued as the tabled let out a collective chuckle.

Full Tilt Professional Gus Hansen maybe a pretty well-known poker player, but he has also been spending hours at a time at the Pac-Man machine in the entertainment lounge of the FTP Galway Poker Festival. PokerNews was on stand-by to catch him running away from the ghosts.
