Re: WSOP Non-Main Events
Can anyone give advice about how long these one-day events last?
I'm combining Event #9 ($2000 NLHE) with a Vegas trip with the wife and friends. Event #9 is the day that everyone else is coming into town; I'm arriving the day before. If I do really well, like in the money or final table (thinking on the positive side), what is my time commitment?
From reading various posts here and internet articles/blogs, I get the sense that a "one-day" event can actually be 14+ hours of play on the first day (noon start until 2am the next day), followed by the final table on the second day that can last for many hours (6-7) depending on starting stack sizes at the final table, tight/lose play, and all the usual variables. Of course, if I crap out in the first few hours, this is not a concern...
Any advice is appreciated. Don't want to risk half of the vacation on this "one-day" event (actually, I wouldn't mind, but others involved will...).
