*Semi-Official* WSOP Smaller Events Thread

[billyjex]

me and pat southern are renting a house in vegas from july 1st to august 31st.

right now the tournaments I am signed up for are the $1k and $1500 in mid-july and the main event. I will try to satellite into some of the $2500 shootout/6-max ones as well.

should be fun. will be playing lots of cash games when not in tournaments.

Playing Event #2, thanks to winning the 2+2 Zoo satellite on True Poker last month. I may play some satellites, and maybe event 3 or 4, depending on how things go. Staying at Rio.

I'm out of the country in July/August, so can't play the later events this year.

Not sure exactly about my schedule but will be in vegas the whole time and probably playing in ~50k worth of events. Definitely all of the limit events though. Staying in a house in Henderson throughout - shoot me a PM.

Got $1500 through a FTP Bracelet Race, and will be using it for Event #2 (1500 NLH) or Event #6 (2000 NLH). Will probably be the only tourney I play unless I hit a rush between now and the tourney I do play and make considerable money.

The Bellagio Cup (which I'm tentatively scheduled to deal in) is a series of $1000+$80 tournaments that will be running from July 24th to August 4th, both at 2pm and 7pm, followed by 2 days of Supers on the 5th and 6th for the 10k ME that starts on August 7th. I don't remember how the $1k tourneys did last year (or if they had them), but the ME had 97 entries.

Last year's Bellagio Cup ME took place the Mon-Wed following the end of the WSOP ME (which ended on a Friday), so all the foreigners and out-of-towners were very likely out of dodge by then. This year's ME is scheduled to start the day the WSOP ME goes from 150 to 60, so Bellagio's looking to give everyone that's still in town a second-chance shot at winning a 10k tourney.

There's also the Orleans Open that's running from July 1st to the 16th with all low buy-in amounts. The schedule's right here.

Will be playing everything with the word "hold'em" in the title...
