It's always a delight to see PokerStars qualifiers enjoying their first major tournament on the EPT. Apart from the fact that they get the full PokerStars hospitality treatment in a country they might never have visited before, they also get to experience the terrific structure of the European Poker Tour, which is a far cry from most of the small tournaments in local clubs.
Matthew Wood described the experience to the video blog team:

At the other end of the EPT experience spectrum* is Rolf Slotboom, who has been coming to these things since season one. Slotboom used to be one of us - a reporter hunched over a laptop - before he decided to put his knowledge to better use around the tables. Still, Slotboom might be a seasoned veteran, but he's not averse to a bit of video blog treatment either:
