I would play two tourneys.
I am sure you will be playing cash games while you are there, so the second you are "up" $1k, use that to buy into the satellite.
That's what I would do.
On a side note, I "WILL" be at the 2006 WSOP.
The boss just gave me the time off. (I was too new of an employee to get the time off for this year.)
Good Luck TP!
