they are really keeping me in the dark about when I can buy in , were I'm staying... when they are going to fly me out ETC.....
They won't purchase my seat until I show up to Vegas in the flesh , and possibly not until just HOURS before the tournament is about to start...
I'm booked at the Rio for a few days... but not until the night right before the Main event starts.... and for only three days after that....
Then what ?? the tourny lasts two weeks lol
so..... I fly into Vegas which will take me 7 hours with a stopover... get there... rush to meet some guy I've never talked to.... hopefully he buys my seat...
then try to sleep... then start playing in the BIGGEST tourny of my life the next day at NOON
its actually been quite the headache....
Don't get me wrong........ its a good problem to have... even if the manager ( the guy who's gonna buy my seat and give me $2500 ) won't return my calls LOL
I'll keep you guys informed

Congrats on winning your way to the WSOP!
I'm sure if you last longer in the main event than the 3 nights they have you booked for at the hotel, they'll extend it. They probably don't want to pay for two weeks if you get knocked out the first day. If you make if far you'll give them great exposure so they'll want to take care of your hotel so you have nice things to say about them.
GOOD LUCK!
