It is that time of the year again #WSOP

Saturday, June 18, 2011 Posted by Unknown , No comments

The WSOP is already running for more than two weeks and two dozen Bracelets found their new owner. I managed to fly over to Vegas 3 times in the last 4 years and this time will be the first with full media credentials, thus I will be joining the army of zombies and insomniacs late next Tuesday / early next Wednesday. If you wonder who that is … I actually mean the bloggers and media staff who make all that happen and bring you the latest news.

This year I will be writing updates for the Poker770 Pro Team and you can find the updates on the team page or on the Team770 Blog. The live coverage will start next Wednesday and is available in various languages; I will be taking care of the German and English part. The work days might be long, but at least we now have the 10 level stop rule in place and this should hopefully keep all sane.

I am looking forward to the work and even though it might not be as much fun as playing there myself, it is still an interesting task and someone has to do it, right? Besides that I know almost everything around Vegas from my previous trips anyways so there is not really much to discover and the shopping at the Outlet Store doesn’t take more than one day either.

All paperwork is done and the packing has already started, most of the preparation for my day to day work has also been taken care of and I will spend the Monday afternoon and almost all Tuesday with travelling. It kinda sucks when you live in the middle of nowhere and it takes 5h by train to get to the airport first, but the trip itself will pay off for the long travel back and forth. 

Besides that I will get to see dear and close friends at Vegas again and it is always a pleasure, especially when you only have that opportunity maybe twice per year due to the huge distance. And well, Las Vegas is always an interesting change of air and you can break out of the daily routine. Now if they would only have Tim Horton’s there as well and not just Starbucks … ah well, guess you can’t have it all.


Bring on Sin City!
