Title: Playing WSOP Event - help needed! Post by: GavinS on June 25, 2007, 05:47:40 PM Hi, I'll be in Vegas on Saturday and was thinking of playing the $1500 NLHE event. I'll be flying in from NY and cutting it fine for time. I have never played a WSOP event before. If the event starts at 12pm how much time do u need to register? Do these events fill up or can u turn up at 11:55pm, sign some forms, pay ur cash and enter the tournament?
Thanks for any advice Title: Re: Playing WSOP Event - help needed! Post by: Ironside on June 25, 2007, 05:50:17 PM the WSOP aint like the UK you dont need to be sat to play infact i think you can even register while the first 2 levels are in play

Post by: dino1980 on June 25, 2007, 05:55:53 PM I believe all the $1500 events have had over 2000 entrants and all of them have had a list of alternates. So if you turn up at 11.55a.m, you might find yourself on a list of alternates and not seated until near the end of the first level. If you've got a mate who can buy you in (not sure if this is possible anyway) then i'd try that.
