Congrats on the WSOP-qualifying win and I'm glad to see you're still writing excellent entries. Have fun in Vegas.
As far as the WSOP Event goes, I just wanted to drop you an FYI regarding your perception on the 'ease' of actually placing. I played in several events last year (and plan to play this year, as well), and the $1,500 events are extremely tough to play in. You start with 60 BBs and depending on your table, it will not be easy to double that within the first two-three levels; which is where you want to be. The more expensive buy-in WSOP Events have better structure's, longer levels, and more chips to play with. Either way, it is a once-in-a-lifetime experience and worth the trip. If I were you, bring you're NL bankroll b/c the games, even at high stakes, are incredibly awesome. The Wynn, IMHO, is the best.
