We have entered the final week of the WSOP satellite tournament. By this time next Monday there will be a picture in this space of some guy (or girl) smiling and sitting behind a large pile of money. But before then, there are a few points that we need to touch on, so I'll just go through the list right now. To review:

Wednesday June 1 - Satellite #8 (7:00pm)
Saturday June 4 - Satellites #9 (2:00pm) & #10 (4:30pm)
Sunday June 5 - Final Table (1:00pm)

Other notes and info:

1.) As Fro mentioned in his email on Friday, I think I have a location scoped out for the final table on Sunday. It's on the north side of town, not actually in Aldine but towards that direction (more like Gallery Furniture), and I am going to check it out this afternoon. Once I do that I will be sending directions and instructions to all of the final table participants.

1A.) As with all of the tables in this tournament, I'm not really planning on making the final table location public knowledge for anyone other than the players. This is primarily because of space concerns but also because I just don't want to draw any unnecessary attention to ourselves. That said, if you are not playing at the final table but would like to come watch or to play in some side games, feel free to email me and I will get you some directions. I'm not going to just post the location onto the blog, though... you will have to ask me or find out from someone else who already knows.

2.) I am looking for some volunteers to deal at the final table. We can't necessarily pay you for your services (the whole "legality" thing and all) but we can feed you and possibly compensate you in some other way. If you are interested, or if you know someone who is a competent dealer and may be willing to help us out, please email me. Trust me, we will come up with a way to make it worth your while.

3.) The game this Wednesday is all set. I sent directions to the players last night. If you did not get this email and were planning on playing, please email me ASAP so we can discuss. Also, if do not have a seat but might want to get on the waiting list (we're about at the point where 1-2 people always drop out) let me know because there is a good chance you will get to play.

4.) I will be sending the information for Saturday's tables sometime tomorrow. Some of you are playing in the first table, some of you are playing in the second table, and some of you are playing in both tables.

I think that's it for now.

Good luck!
