ANYONE THERE??????????
13 Players so far
Hello AJ?
Wha? :-\
I'm seriously considering it, but I have to wait and see what happens in the family unit first. Can you put me down as tentative and I'll confirm later??
Let me know as soon as you can
Translation: If the wife doesn't KILL me for buying more chips, I'm in . . .
Way to goad him into playing!!! It's about time he shows his face.
Never mind...found it
Just wasn't my night. Enough bad beats and coolers to suck the life right out of a full grown man. Still, enjoyed my short time and looking forward to the next one I can attend. Just hope there's a few more players.
Excited for him. It will be his first time going to Vegas and he will get to experience the WSOP
Way to go pudge.
SWEET! Greg...you owe me $10
Good game to you both. Figured Steve had it in the bag the way the deck smacked him in the face. Good for Pudge though, enjoy your Vegas adventure!
I would say he got to experience the WSOP!
SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO glad I played this back then
Nice haul.
hard to believe there were satellites back in Sept. 10 for a June 11 tournament. Everyone in attendance probably forgot about it by now. Its like entering a lottery and getting a call six months later that you won.
Are you going to take your winnings and freeroll in the WSOP this year?
Can't wait for the next one. Even if/when I lose, I just might win big!
Very nice.
I think we'll have them lined up as far as the eye can see to get in on them now.
