# Lilian Erdmann Swam All the Way to the River in Bangkok

Former partypoker and CoinPoker ambassador Lilian Erdmann found himself in a comical situation in Bangkok on his way to a card tournament. A typhoon hit the Thai capital, causing water levels in the low-lying parts of the metropolis to rise to one meter.

The Frenchman showed an iron will to play and managed to reach the tournament venue exactly in time for registration, making his way through flooded roads. However, once he was there the organizers were forced to announce the tournament's cancellation, because the other participants didn't risk fighting their way through the storm and there weren't enough players at the tables to meet the minimum.

I've been in crappy situations on the way to tournaments before, but this is just lol. A typhoon hit Bangkok: one meter of water in the low-lying areas. And all that just to make it to the tournament exactly on time, only for it to be canceled because not enough people showed up 💀
