I was in Vegas for a work trip, coincidentally at the same time as the WSOP. I had looked up events and decided I didn't want to put up the amount of cash needed for the major events, but they do have daily tournaments ranging from $150 or so up to $365. The fields are pretty soft. I placed fairly easily without really training much at all in advance and about tripled my money. It was really cool to participate in the WSOP event, even if only a daily tournament, and it didn't break the bank. Coming from
brazil, the travel would likely be expensive, but the play doesn't have to be.
