Vegas, here I come

SOLD OUT!

I'm going to play in the Main Event of the 2007 World Series of Poker being held at the Rio in Vegas, July 6th thru July 17th.

It is a $10,000 buy-in, so there are 100 shares available, at $100 per share (you can buy less than a full share if you choose).

First place will likely be between $10 million and $12 million. Just making the money will be $20,000 or more.

Each share will get you 1% of my 2007 WSOP Main Event winnings, after taxes.

I reserve the right to make deals at the table as I see fit.

Pokerstars will pay me an additional $100,000 if I make the Final Table, $250,000 if I make the Final 3, and $1,000,000 if I win the tournament. 100% of this additional money and any money or goods from endorsements or Pokerstars promotions will belong to me alone.

If you buy 10 shares, you get 1 share for free (limit of 2 free shares)

For agreeing to wear Pokerstars attire, I'll get $1000 to offset the lodging and other expenses, so the stakers will not have to bear those expenses on this trip.

I've decided to offer a bonus to my Catoosa trip stakers. For each share you bought of the Catoosa trip (not counting any bonus shares you had), you can buy one share of the WSOP for a discounted price of $75. For instance, If you bought 1 share of the Catoosa trip, you can buy 1 share of the WSOP trip for $75. If you bought 3 shares of the Catoosa trip, you can buy up to 3 shares of the WSOP trip for $75 each.

I've made my flight and room reservations and leave on the 4th of July.

I'll be at the Super 8 on Koval Lane for four days from July 4th thru July 7th, at the Rio for five days July 8th thru July 12th, and back at the Super 8 for six days July 13th thru July 18th.

If you would like to shift some of your money to the "2nd Chance" bankroll, let me know. This will free up some shares for others and spread your risk over several tournaments rather that 1. All your eggs in one basket, don't ya know.

Thanks to all the investors!
