WSOP Fantasy Contest

[dino1980]

For the last two years Blonde has run a WSOP Fantasy Contest, in 2007 The Camel ran it and in 2008 I took the reigns (ably assisted by Kinboshi's spreadsheet wizardry). I haven't got time to run it this year but would like to particiapate and as we are only around three weeks away this seems an appropriate time to start a thread.

Entry was $20 last year i believe - thread here - http://blondepoker.com/forum/index.php?topic=33612.0

I don't really have time to do this this year - but my spreadsheet (that I didn't create in the first place, it was AndrewT) is available for hire.

I'll play if someone's running it.
