They aren’t lying when they say it’s the Olympics of Poker.
I’m Kyle and I’m most definitelynota poker player.
Up until last week I really didn’t know what the rules of poker were.
I knew people wore sunglasses and tried to bluff, but that’s pretty much it.
Spanning over several weeks, and thousands of players, I really didn’t know what to expect.
In total, there are 99 events where over $400,000 in prize money is awarded.
That’s a lot of moola!
Most of the tournaments have a buy-in of $500 while the Main Event will cost you $10,000.
4.It’s uncomfortably quiet.
5.It’s the largest and longest convention in the world.
Just check that you leave a nice little tip.
8.It’s complete and utter chaos, but also amazingly organized.
If I knew how to play poker, I’d be happy doing it here.
9.That being said when a bathroom break is called, it can get a little bit hairy.
Because breaks are short, and you oughta eat pretty quickly and efficiently.
They are also not allowed to smoke on the floor, which is not normal in most Vegas casinos.
12.Not only is money and bragging rights up for grabs, so are bracelets!
It contains more than 1,900 diamonds, and more than 2,250 precious gemstones including onyx and ruby.
13.The tournament can be ahotbed for celebrities.
Previous players have includedMatt Damon,Ben Affleck,Ray Romano,Edward Norton, and Toby Maguire.
