I have a huge case of the FOMOs...except that it's actually RMOs (Really Missing Out). :( Y'all take lots of pics and tweet to us @CardsChat!

I am going to be making a list in Twitter of everyone playing that we can subscribe to if you want to follow along with everyone in Twitter.
Dudette, you're closer than me or Debi, go go go :D

After hearing about the mess during the Big 50. I think you made a wise decision in choosing The Colossus for this, Debi.

But I also try to avoid late registration when playing live. And it seems the mess with the Big 50 came with people late registering.

That and the record numbers, too bad they charge so much extra to register online , I'm sure some of that could have been avoided.

And the longer levels - players lasted way longer with the deep stacks and long levels.

The Colossus will be nothing like this - should run pretty smoothly. :)

One of the things I would like to do in the WSOP is meet others from the CC team including CC rep, Ryan Laplante.
So as I am getting ready for my 2nd shot at the WSOP this month I decided to look back at my 2012 event. I was in deep when I got knocked out but actually watched this guy who took me out not only go way deeper but to the final table where he finished in 8th place. I went on the WSOP site and looked the the results of the event and found something interesting. Ryan Laplante was at that same final table in the event I played. Just found that interesting that the one Pro I am looking forward to meet if lucky I actually watched play all those years ago.

Is there going to be a set meal we are meeting up for?

It looks as though there is a 75 minute dinner break after 9 levels of day 1 of the Colossus. That would be about 4:40. Anyone still playing would have an hour and fifteen minute break.
We can discuss further as we near the time of any possible meet up at that time. Wednesday or Thursday would work for those playing. Here is the structure sheet from WSOP

That would be great if we could make it happen.
This keeps getting asked, I would suppose if most in this thread want it, we can all pitch in to make it happen. I think the problem is we all won't be playing the same day at the Rio, maybe a Tuesday lunch/dinner meet up might be better, we could all meet somewhere central on the strip or take a trip to freemont street (since mortis mentioned it) if that's in anyones baliwick. We're in Vegas , we can do what we want when we want :D All you peeps mentioning it go ahead and chime in with suggestions and we can make a plan. I'm an early riser so a breakfast would be just as fine for me, but I'm sure that won't work with a lot of you younguns :p
Also looked at food options around the rio, because if we did eat there it would be long waits due to that little event they're having. Ping Pang Pong is one of the top rated chinese restaurants in the country and is a few minutes walk from the rio.

I think the best we can do with everyone's schedules would be to try to meet at dinner break on the 2 Colossus days. Though I am not sure how easy that will be with so many on break at the same time.

Outside of that I have tournaments scheduled every single day - so it depends on early busts for me.

Send me your phone number by pm - I assume you have whatsapp.

The $600 Deepstack is on Tues so I won't be available except maybe for dinner if I bust early.

I plan to play thesewsop events at the Rio:
Monday Tag Team
Tuesday 600 wsop
Wed colossus
Thu 2nd bullet into colossus
I'll play at least 1 wpt500 at Aria and maybe Venetian Nugget and PH.

I think meeting during dinner break of colossus is best on either day or both days at the Rio by the sportsbook. Or the morning of at hash house or gold coast buffet.

Making our declarations now are we :)
I'm playing the 200 tag team switch the 23rd at ph hollywood, I and Debi are going to do a repeat of last time we did this :)
26th I'm doing the Seniors deepstack at the rio
27th I'm playing the colossus
So depending on my run the 26th and 27th I will be at the rio, if I donk out of both, I'll be off playing cash games on the strip unless some firm plans are made before hand for breakfast/dinner

We don't get in until late Tuesday night. We will probably chill Wednesday and play the Colossus Thursday. I would probably play Friday at Planet Hollywood on Friday if I don't make it to day 2.

I say either the hash house for breakfast or sportsbook during dinner break could work on Wed or Thursday.

Getting closer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
