Kerryjane Craigie runs a very tight ship, as Head of Poker at Hippodrome Casino and it seems she runs an even tighter one here at the RDS in Dublin.

She ran into our photographer and recounted an interesting situation she found herself in when in the ladies' toilet on break.

She was standing in there when four guys walked into the wrong bathroom. When she told them to get out, the reply she was given was, "We're French!"

This obviously didn't cut the mustard with Craigie so she protested and they added, "Have you never been in a men's bathroom?"

"NO!!" ended that conversation. -- MC

You can't say you weren't warned. We told you about this a couple of weeks ago. Now, it's almost too late to get in on millions in StarsCoin giveaways.

As you might have heard (ahem), PokerStars is celebrating 100 million players by throwing a month-long party with lots of giveaways.

The first two weeks have it have been pretty profitable for a lot of VIP Club members. PokerStars has doled out more than 75 Million StarsCoin given away so far, including awarding 25 players with one million StarsCoin and two players with two million StarsCoin.

It's not over yet.

The idea is pretty simple. First complete up to three VIP Steps for a chance to win up to 1 million StarsCoin. The second challenge is to complete ten 10 VIP Steps for the opportunity to win up to 2 million StarsCoin. You can read all about the rules here. The promotion remains open until Sunday February 14.

Here's a list of winners so far. Will you be one by the end of the weekend?

10am: Cards are in the air!
Day 1B has gotten underway.

9:45am: Bumper Day 1B about to commence
Day 1A attracted 214 players yesterday and today promises to be a lot bigger. The first ever champion here, back in Season 1, was Max Silver, and he'll be in attendance today. He tried to come and play yesterday but getting out of one's own bed (Silver lives in Dublin) tends to be a lot harder than a strange hotel bed. Back in 2010 Silver had a day job working for Full Tilt Poker, but the €72,000 he won was partially behind his decision to go pro, and what a good decision that's been - the Brit has more than £2.3 million in winnings on his poker resume now! Will another Silver-type case be born in Dublin this week?

Team Online's Mickey Peterson and Jamie Staples have been spotted in the RDS over the last 24 hours and are expected to be in the field today. Social media had also been flooded with photos of players making - or trying - to make their way to Dublin. Many added holidays on to the PCA and a fair few have made/are making the long trip back from the Aussie Millions, including the champion Ari Engel.

Cards will be in the air at 10am.
