Olympic Open Championship


This weekend will see the climax of the Olympic Open Championship at the Olympic Casino, Tallinn, Estonia. The two day Hold ‘em freezeout event will begin at 6pm today, local time, and players who are eager to pay the €1050 buy-in are advised by a Tallinn tourist site to ‘be prepared, be active, be curious’.

Quite.

Plenty of side games are expected and smaller tournaments have been running all week, including one called ‘Texas Terminator’. If there are any enlightened folk out there who are aware of the nature of this event, please post a comment: it has the team here scratching body parts at a level not seen since Alf brought in the itching powder.

We would particularly like to know what a ‘terminator chip’ is and if we can use it on the annoying practical joker in the office.

Comments are also welcome if anyone knows of a good non-irritating soap.
