Just a quick note to let folks know that we’re starting to approach our threshold for the WPBT event in terms of number of players (we’re just under 90 players as of this morning). We’ve got about 5 spots left before we would have to start changing our plans around at the IP (i.e. bigger room, etc). It’s not totally impossible but it would require a pretty substantial effort to change things around this late in the game so unless I get barraged by last minute requests, I’m cutting it off after 5 more.
[UPDATE]: We’re officially full. People can email me about being put on a waiting/alternate list but as of right now no new people are being added to the In list.

Hi, my name is Bill Rini and this is my poker blog. I've been blogging about poker and the poker industry since around 2003-ish. Like most people I started out playing poker as entertainment in home games whenever we wanted to sit around and smoke cigars, drink beer, and eat pizza, and needed a good excuse. I started playing online shortly after the first online card rooms opened and it wasn't long before I was playing 20, 30, or even 40 hours a week or more. One day I received a phone call about a program manager position at Tiltware which was the company that consulted to Full Tilt Poker on software development and marketing. After Tiltware I spent about 2.5 years working at Party Poker where I was the poker room manager.

To you procrastinators out there:
Some people won’t show up on time (or at all) so I’d recommend getting on a/the waiting list!
Lets hope people that are paying to play in the this tourney would show up on time… I guess even money can’t get people to show up on time.. I would love to play in a live tournament like this, I hope there are more when I get my bankroll up.
Kendall,
Nobody has to put up money before the event (you pay right before the start) so it’s probably a little more likely.
