With the 2009 WSOP Europe just a day away from getting underway with the start of Event No. 1 – £1,000 No Limit Hold'em – poker pros have begun descending upon London to get ready for the tournament series, including Bodog Poker pros Jean-Robert Bellande and David Williams.

For Bellande, today is not only the "getting prepped for the WSOP Europe" day, but it is also his birthday. So, happy birthday to Jean-Robert. Looks like to celebrate this erstwhile occasion, Bellande is heading to the famous London shopping mecca Harrod's to get decked out for a Jay-Z concert tonight. Per his Twitter account (@BrokeLivingJRB):

Going to meet @back2backflack, Danny A, and Joe C at Harrods.  Need some gear from tonights Jay-Z show.  Cool B-day!

While DW has been fairly silent on his Twitter (@dwbodogpro OR @dwpoker) for the past few days (except to share this gem of a video), we do know that the last we heard he was wrapping up the EPT Barcelona and planning on being in London for the WSOP Europe:

Made a mental error and I'm out. One misstep is all it takes in this game. WSOPE up next for me.

Based on what we know about DW, we wouldn't be surprised if he ran into Bellande tonight at the Jay-Z show. We'll have to keep an eye on Twitter to see what rock star antics these two get up to in London. You can check in on the Bodog Poker pros as they live the Bodog lifestyle and play in the WSOP Europe but following them on Twitter.
