PPA Advocacy Booth During all 6 Weeks of the WSOP
Playing in any of the WSOP Las Vegas events this year? Your PPA is there with an advocacy booth. Please stop by and take advantage of the political advocacy
tools the PPA will have at your disposal. Send emails to Congress,
register to vote, sign the pro-poker petition to lawmakers and tape
video testimonials. Plus, at select times throughout the tournament,
leading poker professionals will be at our booth to meet PPA members
and sign autographs.
Keep an eye on this thread, PPA's Twitter feed, and my Twitter feed for pictures and daily reports. Digg/read: http://digg.com/d1shRd

Typical day from 2008: June 15th, 2008 By Bryan Spadaro
As
has been the MO of the WSOP, Saturday’s crowds are usually insane.
This Saturday was no different, with 2700+ runners squaring off in the
Nl $1500. This was also by far and away the most people we had at the
booth, but that had a lot to do with who was signing the autographs.
Daniel Negreanu, fresh off his 4th Bracelet in the $2000 Limit Hold Em
event, was the days signer. And the fans came out in huge numbers. I
would say Daniel signed 200 autographs in 40 minutes, at least, and
almost every person either signed the petition, sent a letter to
Congress, or both. So it was a good day.

Another typical day from last year: June 13th, 2008 By Bryan Spadaro
So
Im off to the Launch party of LV Thrillest (which I think is a
magazine) and getting the VIP treatment at the Mirage Pool and then the
after Party at Jet, which will be a most welcome change of scenery from
the Rio. In preparation for this event I used my $10 voucher that is
given to you for registering in a bracelet event, and got myself a nice
ribeye. I guess the only way to make it 6 weeks in Vegas is to live a
little. Todays booth was kinda dead, as the 10k Heads Up NL was capped
at 256 runners, and the first round was over by 3:00 PM. The fact that
the second event was the $1500 Razz didnt help either, as these are two
of the smaller events out there. But Andy Bloch did stop to sign
autographs in between his victory over Bill Edler in the first round of
the 10k as he awaited his second match at 5 pm. Sadly Andy was beaten
in Round 2 by Theo Tran, so the PPA signing string of luck might have
taken a Hit. But Marcel Luske is still going strong with 6 left in the
3,000 HORSE, and Andy and todays other signer, Lacey Jones are playing
the $1500 Razz tonite. So hopefully, good results to come. As for me,
Im out for the night, see yall tommorow.
