[quote=brianwspencer]On Sunday, it was $20 to buy-in and I bought two entries. I won $500 cash, and $500 to travel with which was essentially just $500 cash. So $1000 for the contest I won.

Though I'm looking at airfare and hotels, and I'm going to stay an extra day for fun, so I'm basically going to end up spending about $800 just to get there and stay to play in the contest.

Knock their eyeballs out BWS. May the handicap Lords shine down upon you with a few longshots.

B-Dub,

I try to qualify tomorrow at Canterbury. I'll have another chance in December if tomorrow doesn't work. So if I'm lucky enough to get out there we'll definately have to grab some drinks. I'll keep ya posted

I forgot to congratulate you Dispencer.






My only suggestion....


....ditch the eyeliner out there.






Many in Las Vegas will take that as a false positive.

P.S. to DDtheTide- TY for the support.
Hawthorne just gave me cash for the travel expenses, each tourney may be different on how they take care of you. Hopefully you'll end up out there, it'd be great to not be in a room of 700+ unfamiliar people!

Thank you. I just used my eyeliner pencil to scratch out the note "bring eyeliner to Vegas" on my things to do list.
