"Say where?"

In between hands at Table 1, Wally Sombero is learning something new about the world. One of his opponents is Didier Cicurel, who hails from the tiny island nation of Seychelles. Never heard of Seychelles? Neither had Sombero. His curiosity piqued, he began asking Cicurel all manner of questions about Seychelles, including history (British and French colonial rule); population (approximately 90,000); industry (fishing); and climate (tropical, located in the Indian Ocean near the Equator).

Who says poker can't be educational?
