Last year, Greg Hopkins [who?] took home $269,274 and a bracelet by outlasting just under 600 competitors in in the $2K Pot-Limit Hold 'em [structure] Event. I'm going to throw my hat in the ring this year and if you'd like a piece of the action, here's your shot. I don't expect to sell a full 1,000 shares, but that sure would be nice. Asking price is $2.08, this gets you a 0.07% stake in the prize money. Why is it not a direct 1:1 ratio... $2.00 for a 0.1% stake? Paypal eats about 3-5% in transaction fees and also, I'm looking to make a little money here, too. It works out to be a 70/30 free-roll agreement, with make-up. Ask around, and that's better than most 60/40 w/ Make-up deals or a straight 50/50 free-roll.
I made a strong showing in Event #13, $2500 NLHE (re-cap at http://onafolddraw.blogspot.com/2008/06/2008-wsop-event-13-recap.html), busting when my AA got four-flushed by TT, all-in pre-flop. I'll be keeping everyone updated with the -update blog, just like last time. Shares are on sale until the 1300 on 20 June 2008, the end of Level 1.
