StoneMtn Posted June 18, 2006 Report Share Posted June 18, 2006 Seriously? Basher, you truly never cease to amaze me.Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basher Posted June 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2006 I am serious. Getting the time off work will be tricky, but I'll make it happen.Here's the story:I played an $8 tournament with 33 players - the top 5 players win a $54 tournament entry, which I got.With the $54 entry I played a tournament with 17 players, where the winner and ONLY the winner gets to play a $650 tournament to go to Vegas. Won that.Then tonight I played the $650 tournament with 17 players. Once again, only the winner got anything. I won. The package includes the $10,000 WSOP tournament entry, and $3,500 for airfare, accomodations and spending money in Vegas.Un-fucking-real. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bradm Posted June 18, 2006 Report Share Posted June 18, 2006 Congratulations, Basher! How does the tournament distribute players' winnings? I'm imagining you coming back into Canada with one of those aluminum briefcases filled with bundles of American $20 bills..."Anything to declare, sir?"...

Basher Posted June 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2006 Yeah, I've played live games too, and actually seem to do well getting reads off of people. Lots of studying in the next 6 weeks. Gotta re-read all my poker books and get a few new ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
