CardsChat will be having it's 6th wsop team event this summer!

We are putting together a team to represent us in the Colossus tournament that starts on Fri, June 2nd and ends on June 7th. The buy-in is $565 and there are 6 starting flights. It is a re-entry event that will run for 6 days. $1,000,000 is guaranteed for 1st place!

Flight 5A - 10am Friday, June 2
Flight 5B - 4pm Friday, June 2
Flight 5C - 10am Sat, June 3
Flight 5D - 4pm Sat, June 3
Flight 5E - 10am Sun, June 4
Flight F - 4pm Sun, June 4

The event will be a last longer challenge and the team will consist of 14 to 20 members. We are taking names now for those who are interested and CardsChat members are welcome to join in! Long term CardsChat members who meet all of the qualifications may be accepted right away - decisions on all others will be made in phases until the team is complete.

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. Link your Twitter account please.

Cardschat will pay $165 of each team member's $565 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 - the remainder of their buy-in!

-In the event that no one makes Day 2 of the event, then we will determine the winner of the last longer by highest cash earned in the tournament - so choose your flight wisely.

We will also be giving away $25 Twitter prizes to team members during the event - we will announce those prior to the start of the event so you will know what to do to try to win some extra money.

You can start in any flight - however I will probably not be there until Sat. You must meet ALL requirements before getting paid. I will not be chasing you down to fulfill the requirements - including posting in this thread, so you could lose your spot if you don't take care of them in a timely manner. :)

Team members will be required to:
  1. Post their introduction to the team in this thread with full name and flight expected to play along with a link to their Twitter account.
  2. Participate in this rail thread. (or post their tournament updates in Twitter).
  3. Wear a CardsChat hoodie or t-shirt and use a CardsChat card protector throughout the entire event. (Both will be provided by CardsChat unless you have already been given one in a previous event. (They must have the logo on the back). Baseball caps and t-shirts will be provided if they are going to be worn. Hoodies may be placed on the back of your chair - however if you are being televised either the hoodie, a CC tshirt or a CC cap must be visible.
  4. Follow us and tweet about participating in the team event mentioning @CardsChat prior to and during the event.
  5. Tweet a picture of yourself wearing your CC gear and mention @CardsChat.
All of the above must be done before you receive your $165 - plus you need to already be registered for the event. You will not be eligible for the last longer prize if you do not wear CC gear during the entire event.

I been on the team before and even won the last longer last summer in the crazy 888 tourney finishing 57th overall for about $8k.

I've participated in past CC events and always had a blast! I've experienced some success in live tournaments over the past few years, and am looking to build on that with a big schedule of WSOP and circuit events over the next several months.

I'm planning to play Flight C.

It is a pity that I can not get into the tournament.:(

Will there be a TV broadcast of this tournament?
I'd like to see the members of the CC and to learn from the experience.

Played against a CCer at Cherokee last April. Didn't realize it and wouldn't know by name here.

Good Luck to all in early June! I'll be rolling into Vegas the last week in June through the first week of July.

Not planning any WSOP events, but I may do a daily or two.

New Here....

I was referred here by Missjacki. I will be playing the Colossus for as many bullets as it takes. I have fired two in the last two years and cashed on both. I have also won an HPT this year and have a couple of circuit rings. I just signed up for an account here. Let me know what I need to do to further this process. Oh and I am friends with the previous two winners so....probably due.
THANKS

Okay - won't laugh lol. You can follow @cardschat and me @dakotaxx and anyone else that is on the list in the first post - check back when it is closer to time.

Read the 1st post thoroughly - it tells you everything you will need to do. If you know you will be able to do all of that let me know.
:)

If you use facebook send me a friend request - I post some stuff in there regarding the event. (Debi O'Neill Canton Ga)
