Putting faces with names


I'm going to Las Vegas for the WSOP for four days. I'll be playing in Event #43 as will lightning36. We hope to show those donkeys what two bloggers can do. Hey, we can shove with the best of them.

Last year the same one was called Event #42 and there were nearly 2500 runners. First place paid a cool $368,832.

They say they withhold 30% for taxes. That's complicated and a real pain, but I'll put up with it to be able to have poker stories to blog about for both of this blog's readers.

I'll be arriving late Saturday night, June 20, and departing Wednesday, June 24. Definitely looking forward to meeting CK and some of the other degenerates bloggers I've read and respect.

If you see me, come up and shake hands or give me a hug. I'm the little old man with a SL Cardinals' baseball cap and glasses. If you still can't find me, look for the MOJO tee shirt.

  4. Jealous. But that's OK. My favorite part of the WSOP is living vicariously through those I know whom are playing.
