Details are falling into place. There's a new addition to the list of events for Thursday night. Please continue to email me with questions. I will be sending out the spreadsheet with participant information tonight. If I haven't heard back from you and you're on the list, you risk losing your seat. I can't babysit anymore, we're running out of time!
Thursday June 2, Evening:
Defending WPBT Vegas champ Felicia is inviting everyone to join her for sushi and karoake at Yama Sushi. Hopefully I'll be in town early enough to stop by, except I won't eat sushi! Click here for more info, or feel free to contact her.
Friday June 3, Noon:
$1500 NLHE WSOP Event #2, featuring a cavalcade of bloggers. The event will last until there is a final table or until completion of the 12th level (which would come sometime after 1 in the morning). Scott Fischman won $300,000 for first place last year with just 831 entrants.
Friday June 3, about 10pm or later:
Storm the castle!!! Should all bloggers be eliminated early, and I don't expect this to be the case, the bloggers will storm The Excalibur poker room for craziness not seen since Pauly held the Nuts against a guy who just got cold-cocked. The start time of this may vary greatly, but the event is expected to occur.
Saturday June 4, 9:30am:
Registration for the WPBT Aladdin Casino Classic ends. The tourney is scheduled to start at 10am, so please try to be in place as close to 9:30am as possible. Also, please try to be respectful of the poker room. What does that mean? Don't show up drunk off your ass. I don't mean to be harsh, but I've worked really hard on this, and I'd rather not be embarrassed. I'm just asking for a little respect, that's all. I'm not ordering you all to be stone-cold sober on 9 hours sleep... but I think you know what I'm asking. Thanks.
Saturday June 4, 10am:
The second WPBT live event begins with about 80 entries and countless side bets. Blogger pride is on the line. Beware the hammer! The final entry fee will be $65:

$5 add-on gets extra $500
Total $65 buy-in

300/600

500/1000
Saturday June 4, 2pm:
Play begins again in the WSOP Event #2. Hopefully a few bloggers will be left, and perhaps even reach the final table! If that's the case, I'll probably race to bust out of the WPBT event so I can go railbird (as if I'll survive long otherwise). In case you're wondering this final table will be televised by ESPN. It will air August 23rd at 8pm.
Saturday June 4, 5pm:
WPBT after-party hosted by AlCantHang at LaSalsa Cantina in the Showcase Mall a block from the Aladdin Casino. There are 345,875 varieties of tequilla there, or so I've heard.
