WSOP 2007 in Vegas!

Well, I've managed to wander into part of my dream. I'm going to the WSOP 2007 baby!

Here are my choices:
No-Limit Hold’em $2,000 No Rebuy/Add-ons
Wed, June 6th to Fri, June 8th (Event 10)
Fri, June 15th to Sun, June 17th (Event 25)
Fri, June 29th Sun, July 1st No Rebuy/Add-ons (Event 47)

I'm playing as a rep from a group; 60% of whatever I win is mine.

Here's what I have to manage:
Play your big draws more aggressively. The money won't go in after the draw hits, especially a flush draw.
Think about timing when acting. Act the same time every time.
Look at cards on your action after you think about your position and situation everytime.
Notice your head position when you're strong and when you're weak. Figure your observation position; where you hold your head and bodyand act from that position everytime.
Work on moving out of your comfort zone when bluffing.

Here's the commentary from the qualifier:
Final match, Game 2, Friday, 5/4, $240 buy-in
10 players, winner got to select one of 3 WSOP events in Vegas ($2,000 buy-in + $660 in travel expenses). Events are # 10, 25, 47 (June 6, 15, 29) and each are 3-day tournaments.

Everybody played well and hard. B's solid play had her with a dominating chip lead at the half-way point. By the time she was heads up with Doug, she had at least a 2 to 1 chip advantage. Doug fought hard and played well to take it all down. CONGRATS DOUG! We will of course be rooting for him. I will let everyone know which event he has chosen as soon as Doug makes travel/registration plans. Here are the places and percentages for all the players:

1. Doug R. 60%
2. Becky M. 9%
3. Dean B. 7%
4. Michael R. 6%
5. Darnell B. 5%
6. Brad S. 5%
7. Wendy B. 4%
8. Costa 2%
9. Brian S. 1%
10. Al M. 1%
