Welcome back to the sector Cup of Poker. It's Day 2 and we've waved goodbye to Italy leaving eight teams to battle it out for the arena Cup of Poker. Germany are top pipping Team Japan by one point with after taking top in round three late last night.
As the team captains arrived today they were corralled in by tournament host Neil Johnson to talk about a transformation within the point scoring system. Now, the sector Cup of Poker is tweaked every year, and by tweaked I mean entirely changed, so we're engaged on somewhat of a blank canvas. Changes are to be expected but, of course, have to be agreed upon. Despite some reservations both Germany's Jan Heitmann and Japan's Masa Kagawa agreed, the important thing quarter for the reason that the changes would allow those out in front to be caught up more easily.
It feels like the consensus was that the changes were fair, a tinkering of points instead of wholesale change. Team Remainder of the arena captain David Williams who looks slightly bleary eyed, after a late night nautical cash game if Twitter is to be believed, seemed particularly proud of the end result: "WE HAVE TO have the ability to affect our own destiny," he said.
That's more love it. That is the arena Cup, let's all get talking like action heroes.
Round four has just begun with a round of eight-handed sit-and-gos. Results could be posted after we have them. Meanwhile you'll be able to meet up with yesterday's wrap of the action by clicking in this link, Day 1 ends hopes of Italy double, Germany top.
