1028: I hope our little poker tournament isn't causing you to... OMG LE CHIFFRE!

Yesterday, as I mentioned to Chris, I followed the progress of a poker tournament taking place in Denmark, thanks to the semi-live blogging on "Poker Stars." Why? Because the best Bond villian ever (Mads Mikkelsen) was playing!

After his having won what was apparently an illegal tournament, I'm sure I wasn't the only one checking online to see his progress -- and posisbly whether anyone at his table kicked the bucket. Even the Poker Stars bloggers giddily suggested he poison someone if things didn't work out well for him, which is appropriate because their coverage up until his departure was a bit like "so-and-so is playing well and has X number of chips and OMG LE CHIFFRE IS TOTALLY SITTING RIGHT THERE!"

Actually, that's totally how I would have covered it myself -- minus the stuff about people playing poker. To be fair, I probably wouldn't have named all the photos of him playing some variation on the words "Le" and "Chiffre." I might have, you know, used his real name given that prior to Casino Royale, he was actually quite famous in Denmark, where this tournament was happening. But whatever. OMG LE CHIFFRE IS TOTALLY SITTING RIGHT THERE!
