Viva Las Workas

Thursday, June 02, 2011 Posted by Unknown , No comments
I haven't been online much on Pokerspace lately due to personal reasons and was also busy with two part time things that involve translations for a lawyer and live event coverage for the iPoker skin Poker770. As a result of this, I will also be at Las Vegas during the time when the Live OFC will be held, but I am not sure how much time I will be able to spend at Downtown.

I have already received the confirmation that my full media credentials for the WSOP have been approved and my flight and hotel is also booked. I will be at Vegas late June 21st - July 5th and as far as it looks my first work day will be June 22nd already when our first players participate at the WSOP. I will stay at the Bally's because they also have a shuttle bus to the Rio's, I could care less about the hotel though since I am there to work.

The schedule looks pretty tough and we have quite a few online qualifiers in Event 45, thus I might only have a less busy day on June 28th and maybe July 2nd - 3rd. There is still a lot of planning to be done in advance to get a proper schedule, but I also want to meet up with a few close friends (you know who you are) and work contacts around the WSOP as well.

If you don't get to see me much at Vegas, you now know why. I really like that part of my work and look forward to the opportunity, I was already working at the EPT and WPT before, but this is the first time I got official media credentials for the WSOP (I did some work there for 888 back in 2007).

Thank you for your attention and understanding.
