What's your screenname over at FTP? I'll have to watch out for you if I get a chance to get online later today.

Rogue23.

The Interpoker tourney is up to 155 players registered and climbing... still well under the 435ish break even point...

good luck TP...if you win a seat I expect to see a Talking Poker T-shirt on tv when I watch the main event!

[Talking Poker]

Oh, you will. Well, it's a nice looking golf shirt, but that's even better, right?

[BrianSwa]

im not too familier with the WSOP side events so ill ask even though this migh be common knowledge. Are the other events you are playing in televised also?

[Talking Poker]

I'm not sure. Last year, they didn't televise all of the preliminary events (like the H.O.R.S.E. event, for example - which I would have enjoyed watching), but they did show most of them (final tables, at least). The events I'll be playing in this year run at the same time as the Main Event, so I don't know if they'll film it at all. They will likely be busy elsewhere. Then again, it wouldn't be too difficult for them to film a featured table, especially if there are a couple of notables there.

In summary, I have no idea. But keep in mind, I will be walking around throughout the Main Event (I have a press pass), so there's a decent chance I'll get my ugly mug on tv once or twice. You could see me a few times last year, but you needed to know where to look.

what happens if you win a seat to the main event and your backer wants you to play the other events instead?

Also are those events during the WSOP main event for a bracelet?

I know all the other events are bracelet events obviously but wasnt sure about the events during the main event.
