Yes - we are doing it again! CardsChat will be having it's 3rd wsop team event in April at Harrah's in Cherokee, NC.

We are putting together a team to represent us in the $500k guaranteed that starts at 5pm on Fri, Apr 17th. The buy-in is $365 and you have 3 flights you can enter. It is a re-entry event.

Flight 4A - 5pm Friday
Flight 4B - 12pm Saturday
Flight 4C - 5pm Saturday

The event will be a last longer challenge and the team will consist of 8+ members. I am putting the team together now and CardsChat members are welcome to join in! We may have some of our WSOP summer team members playing for us again - and there will be some new additions outside of the forum.

As we add members they will need to post in this thread to introduce themselves and give us a little bit of background on their poker experience and history.

Cardschat will pay $165 of each team member's $365 entry into the event. (This is a re-entry event - you can re-enter but we will only pay $165 one time per team member).

The team member who lasts the longest will get $400! (We reserve the right to add additional prizes)

Team members will be required to:
  1. Post their introduction to the team in this thread with full name and flight expected to play.
  2. Participate in the mega rail thread that I will create prior to the event. (or post their tournament updates in Twitter).
  3. Wear a CardsChat hoodie and use a CardsChat card protector throughout the entire event. (Both will be provided by CardsChat). Baseball caps are optional but will be provided if they are going to be worn.
  4. Follow us and tweet about participating in the team event mentioning @Cardschat prior to and during the event.
  5. Like our CardsChat facebook page and share our post about the event the week before the event.
  6. Participate in our team photo - date and time to be determined later.
Team members - I will be arriving on Thurs, Apr 16th. You will need to meet with me to collect your merchandise and money.

Team Members so far: (bolded have made intro posts here and approval is final)
  1. Debi O'Neill (dakota-xx/@dakotaxx) - Flight B
  2. Donna Scruggs (belladonna05/@belladonna005) - Flight B
  3. Walt Winter (blitzenfish/@ezflyfisherbook) - Flight A or B
  4. Todd McGee (teepack/@toddamcgee) - Flight B
  5. Tracy Eaton (Karnscoach/@karnscoach) - Flight B
  6. Demetric Ferguson (DKnucklesferg/@DKnucklesFerg) - Flight A (and/or B)

I would really like to attend too and get to actually meet some of you people but I will be on a boat in the Caribbean at that time.
I hope to make the next event and have a question for you Dakota.

Say someone applied and did not make the cut and wanted to pay their own buyin would Cardschat be willing to semi sponsor them with the Cardschat gear and participation in the Cardschat photo?
Although I am admittedly not that great a player I would want to feel part of the CC group if I did attend.
Good luck to all the Cardschat team in general and to you Dakota in particular.
Your work here is appreciated by me and most likely several other members.

Thanks for the quick answer Dakota and by no means were the complimentary statements in my post meant to be what appears to be sucking up. :)

As per previous threads Debi, I've made the additional reservations to participate in this, sounds like a good time and look forward to meeting CC'rs in person. I'm at Chestnut Fri-Sat and Harrahs Sun-Wed.

Debi, I'll either do 4a Friday or 4b Saturday, depending on how I do in Event 2, if I play it.

Capn' Donna, if you/I do well, which I'm cheering you on, you/I will have to skip the Seniors as the Final day of the tourney will be that Sunday. Let's kick butt and do brawlin' well :)

Thanks for your consideration Debi, Walt Winter

ps live poker history. active local HG's. 4 wsop-c's, close thrice, but no cigars yet. many 1/2 ring hands at Cherokee. A dozen or so Cherokee nightly MTT's, 4 ITM's, all chopped. online, break even or so at sharkscope. I don't think they include private games or ring.

Will have to miss this one, but I wish everyone good luck! Can't wait to see a CC'er take down some hardware. I think the WSOPC Seniors and Ladies tournaments are now ring events, which is cool.

Sign me up! I will go for Flight 4C (the Saturday, 5 p.m. one). I will not be able to roll into town until that afternoon. Hope that won't be a problem.

I have been playing poker online for more than a decade and have played a handful of live tourneys (two in Pittsburgh at Rivers Casino, one at Harrah's New Orleans, one in Cedar Rapids and one at Maryland Live in Baltimore). I finished in a six-way chop for first at the Maryland Live tourney (won $1,200!) and made it close to the bubble at the Harrah's New Orleans event. Flamed out fairly early in the other events.

My name is Tracy Eaton from Knoxville, TN. I am a team member of Blue Shark Optics and HeadsUp Poker Gear. I am a teacher by day and poker player by night. I plan on coming on the 18th (My moms birthday) and play Flight 4B. I love the game of poker, but what I love more are the people associated with the game. Hope to see everyone there. Safe travels and good luck. i already have a Cards Chat zip hoodie.

We have new hoodies so I will need everyone's hoodie size. Also if you don't have a t-shirt or baseball cap and plan on wearing one let me know that too.

I don't have the hoodie. I do have a t-shirt and chip protector. Would love a baseball cap if any are available. I'm not a big hoodie wearer but will don one for the team! Would take an XL for the hoodie.

What size on the hoodie? They are zip-ups so easier to wear imo. Will definitely bring you a cap.

What size hoodies for each of you - and do either of you need a t-shirt or baseball cap?

Sorry. Added in later to my original post but after you had already posted this. I would take an XL, mostly due to my 6-4 height! :)
