Vegas, baby. Vegas. WSOP media coverage.

Ah… so close. Three more sleeps. The World Series of Poker gets underway on Thursday with the casino employees event. The first open event in Friday ($1500 no-limit hold’em) and all four member of Team Canuck Poker will be playing on Friday. We will also be playing Saturday ($1500 pot-limit hold’em), and Sunday ($1500 limit hold’em).

I have obtained media accreditation. Thus, starting first thing Thursday you will be getting a lot of updates in this site. My plan is to send frequent updates throughout the day, including photos, from my Treo. Then, last thing before bed or first thing in the morning I will file a major “daily update.” This update will include photos, audio (mp3 interviews and whatever else I can think to get), and text.

Please do me a favor. I was originally refused media accreditation because www.CanadianPoker.com is viewed as a “player site” with little original editorial content. I assured that staff at Harrah’s that I would be providing lots of original content and they reconsidered and granted me media pass. I am, by the way, truly impressed and grateful for their reconsideration. Often, large organizations are very rigid, but that did not prove the case here. So, what favor can you do me?

Please look in at this site from time to time over the next few days and again over the course of the WSOP Championship in July. If you like what you are seeing, please pass the word to anyone and everyone you know that might be interested in following four Canadian players at the WSOP and interested in “being there” moment by moment, courtesy of my Treo. Thank you. Again, I appreciate Harrah’s putting their faith in me and I want them to feel happy with their decision.
