WSOP-Europe On The Cheap
I mentioned before intention to go London later this month for WSOP Europe and EPT London. Although I've already purchased airfare, lately I had been considering canceling the trip since the $30k worth of buy-ins seemed steep in light of the opportunity cost to bet that money on John McCain. Thanks to a stroke of good luck, it appears I'll be able to have my cake and eat it too.
Bodog held a $500+$40 satellite with two $24k WSOP-E packages guaranteed. There was a huge overlay; just 53 players participated. Despite running Ace-Queen into pocket Kings in a blind-vs-blind battle with five players left, I ran well enough to finish in the top 2. For the sake of my sanity, it was a good thing too; 3rd paid $0.
The package is pretty tight. In addition to the £10,000 seat, it comes with airfare, hotel, a limo ride to and from the airport, and £500 in spending money.
Not bad for a $540 buy-in! :)
