Hey,

With the help of some very generous backers, I will be playing in the $2,500 buy-in event at the WSOP today (saturday). First prize will be close to $1 million dollars and there should be around 1000 players.

One benefit of knowing all the guys that do the updates on PokerNews.com is that they are going to make sure to have a bunch of photos and constant updates on my chip counts and play. The event starts at Noon PST, and you can track all my results here at :

http://www.pokernews.com/live-reporting/2008-world-series-of-poker/event-13-2500-no-limit-holdem/ (the page should be active about an hour before start time).

There is also a function on the side of the page where people watching the coverage can chat and leave messages for players in he tournaments, or chat with the tourament reporters.

Thanks to Brian for putting me in the event, and wish me luck!
