Hmm...enticing. But I don't know how I'd pay you if I were to be wrong. I don't have any money on any sites.

Alright so what exactly are the parameters of the wager? Are we talking total number including those buying into additional flights? Or just the number of unique players? My hunch is that we will be under on the unique player count so that's what I would be willing to play for.

I'm staying downtown and looking to share a cab to the Rio with as many riders as possible.

If you're in the same boat, drop me a note.
What time of day are those 75 dollar megas?

I'm talking about the total number of entrants including re-entries exceeding 22,374 (last year's total).

I was planning on paying/collecting in person at the Rio. If you don't plan on being at the Rio after the end of registration when we have the final numbers, we'll forget the $5 wager and just make it for bragging rights.

ps: For curiosity's sake, what was the number of unique entries last year? I may be way off but I'd guess about 18,000?

pps: Did some research and found there were 14,284 unique entrants last year meaning they accounted for 8,090 re-entries.

The mega satellites are at 1pm each day.

I could leave downtown anytime between 8am and 11:30am.

I plan on going through the verification process and getting my seat assignment for the Colossus either before or after the mega. Figure it will be less hectic than doing it the day of my flight.

I don't think taking the total number would be a wise bet for me because it is theoretically possible this year to play in and cash in every flight. Rebuys for different flights will likely be bigger.

I'd still do the unique entry get if your interested.

You're staying downtown? I'm staying at Four Queens (I like to slum it). Where are you staying?

Sure, I'll bet $5 that the unique entries exceed 14,284 (tie = no bet). I'll PM you my phone number & we can arrange payment/collection.

I'm a bit of a slum dweller myself. Plus it's my last chance to visit the single mothers at "Girls of Glitter Gulch". They are closing later this summer to make room for a new casino/hotel.

I'm at the Fremont on May 30th & May 31st.

I move to the 4 Queens for June 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th.

I move to the Rio for June 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, and 9th.

Would you be interested in sharing a cab from the 4 Queens to the Rio on May 30th and/or June 1st for the $75 mega satellite to the Colossus?

The Steven brothers, owners of the D, Golden Gate and Downtown Las Vegas Events Center have purchased the land adjacent to their recently acquired Las Vegas Club—and that means veteran Fremont Street Experience destinations La Bayou, Mermaids and Girls of Glitter Gulch will close by June 27 to make way for a new hotel-casino concept.

Last year, bubble burst at the end of level 13 800/1600 right before level 14 1000/2000. Payout was 10% so average stack was 50k. Bubble burst with a ~31.25 BB average trending to 25 BB average. Also, it was Day 2 when the level times were 60 minutes.

This year, Payout is 15% which translates into an average stack of 33,333. Bubble will burst on Day 1 were the level time are 30 minutes which usually pushes the average BB at the bubble lower than 60 minute levels.

Jtt300, you are dead on. The bubble should burst in level 11 600/1200 (~28 BB avg) or level 12 800/1600 (~21BB avg). My guess is level 11 600/1200 but the 30 minute levels could push it to level 12 800/1600.

Where are you finding that information? Can you provide a link?

I find no mention of the satellite on the WSOP schedule page and the structure sheet I found for the satellite says 1pm.

Anyone see the tweet that pre reg players will be blinded off until a seat is taken. I am only concerned with colossus delays . Does anyone know if they have officially decided on this for this event? Trying to decide if I should switch my Saturday morning flight.

If you can't make it in time for the start, figure out a way that you can. The structure is very fast and the early stages will be important to play in to try to chip up.
