Anyone know why pre-registration appears to be available for all events except the Main Event?:

http://www.wsop.com/registration/

Originally you could pre-reg for the Main here but they seem to have deleted it. I'm keen to reg now before the Aussie dollar plummets.

Same here. I'd hardly say reliable.

I didn't have too many issues with doing FB / Twitter updates, but I wouldn't think streaming would be that reliable.

Looking to win my local wsop tourney satty to be out there and play

Is anyone here (or know anyone) employed by Caesars? How easy is it to get "approval" if you work, say in the corporate offices away from the WSOP day-to-day operations?

From their tournaments rules PDF:


A) Employees of Rio and its affiliates, Caesars Interactive Entertainment, contractors or vendors hired for the operation of the
WSOP, WSOP Staff, or any person that is involved in the management of WSOP and immediate family members of such
employees are not eligible to participate in WSOP Bracelet Events unless approved in advance by Rio, but shall be permitted to
participate in Cash Games, Daily Deep Stack Tournaments, certain Satellite Events, and the Annual WSOP Casino Employee’s
Event.

Just don't win it!!!

Kidding. Good luck finding out and hope you get to play as that would suckere barred for such a tenuous link.

I actually don't work for Caesars, even though it seems as if I was implying it. Was just curious about my options if I were ever to take a position in their company. Interesting that employees can play cash/deepstacks though. <3 Vegas.

Where can I find all the details about fees, blind and payout structures for the single table and Mega satellites? Can Mega Satellites be grinded, or is every winning entry a must-play and non-transferable?

they pay out in lammers...

All the Mega Satellites pay out in lammers so you can sell them for face value? What about the WSOP satellites in Caesars Palace, Harrah's or other company-owned casinos?

other sats from other Casinos require you to play.

the wsop lammers can be sold at face value or be purchased at a discount.

And you get to feel like a drug dealer! /hate lammer system
/end rant for 2014

See everyone other there!

Anyone know the details about event #1? Can *any* casino employee buy in or just Caesars?

Afaik, it's *any* casino employee.

Yes, any employee of a casino can play. I brought my Canadian dealer license & casino ID, but I don't remember being asked for it, even after I won the Casino Employees Event (non-WSOP).

Hi all,

I will be renting a 5br house for whole series and am looking for two more to split it with. Rest of us are MTT/cash players from LA. House will be close to strip and nice, can send prospective links later. Estimated costs for all nights in a 5br will likely be around $1500-2k/pp. Please PM if interested.

hi all,

i will also be renting a 5br house from may 26 - july 12. total cost of house is $6800 or $1360/room. rent includes all utilities, cable, hbo, wifi and cleaning fee. about 10 minute drive to rio, furnished w/ pool table and 50' hdtv and full kitchen. looking for 420 friendly ppl who want a room for the whole event. pm me if interested

+1...I was stuck with lammers last year, I started out politely asking people in sign up lines if they would buy my lammers, but after a few hours, I was fighting with lammer scalpers(yes, they exist) about them stealing my 'customers.'

Are you saying that there are regular scalpers who are able to buy a lot of lammers at well below face value that makes it worthwhile for them to keep reselling for a small profit? The worst situation is at Fallsview Casino where due to its bad management and horrible policies, there are professional scalpers who buys up as many WPT vouchers and entry cards won by satellite players at a discount without paying for a single satellite themselves, corners the market with well over $50,000 worth of "inventory," then resells them all for a huge profit. The Fallsview scalpers made more money than most of the cash game and satellite regs who paid a lot of rake to the casino!

I'm gonna be there May 30th - June 8. Already booked the flight. Looking for someone to share a room with somewhere inexpensive on the strip. Harrahs, Ballys, Gold Coast etc.

What are the single table satellites that are run during the series and usual payout? Also how early do these start? I was wanting to possibly play one to get into the Deepstack Event at noon.

Can't use them for deep stacks. Minimum $500 value.

Also, do a search. There are probably 500 posts on this subject from the last 10 WSOP's.

I thought you could buy in multiplier tournaments with them. IE:3 deep stacks or 2 deeps and one STT etc.

You can. Pig4bill is wrong.
Maybe he should do a search too.

Love the "do a search" comments. Wouldn't it be just as easy to answer the question as be rude?

Thanks guys I was thinking the same thing, this is a forum and I thought discussion was encouraged.

Anyways the Deepstack event I was referring to is Event #51 $1500 Monster Stack, sorry for the confusion.
