WPT Mirage event (Vegas Trip)

Forgot to mention on my Vegas trip that we went to the Mirage to see the final table of the WPT event on May 17.

We arrived at the Mirage in the afternoon and received a WPT souvenir poker chip with numbers on them. They allowed the first 160 people into the live event, I had number 278. For those of us who didn't get into the live event, they had a party room set up where they showed it on closed circuit TV and had an open bar. As people left the TV coverage area, they would then let others in to take their seats. Personally I thought the party area with free booze was a better option then fake cheering and having to be quiet.

The only two notibles that I knew were David Williams and Harry Demetriou.

The final product you see on TV is a lot different than seeing it live. There were a lot of pauses and things that they cut out of the final product they air.

It was definitely cool to see and hopefully one day I will get the chance to play in one of these events.
