good luck TP...if you win a seat I expect to see a Talking Poker T-shirt on tv when I watch the main event!

Oh, you will. Well, it's a nice looking golf shirt, but that's even better, right?

im not too familier with the WSOP side events so ill ask even though this migh be common knowledge. Are the other events you are playing in televised also?

I'm not sure. Last year, they didn't televise all of the preliminary events (like the H.O.R.S.E. event, for example - which I would have enjoyed watching), but they did show most of them (final tables, at least). The events I'll be playing in this year run at the same time as the Main Event, so I don't know if they'll film it at all. They will likely be busy elsewhere. Then again, it wouldn't be too difficult for them to film a featured table, especially if there are a couple of notables there.

In summary, I have no idea. But keep in mind, I will be walking around throughout the Main Event (I have a press pass), so there's a decent chance I'll get my ugly mug on tv once or twice. You could see me a few times last year, but you needed to know where to look.

what happens if you win a seat to the main event and your backer wants you to play the other events instead?

Also are those events during the WSOP main event for a bracelet?

I know all the other events are bracelet events obviously but wasnt sure about the events during the main event.

oh how cool would it be for our admin to win a braclet, of course be alot cooler if we won it but to belong to a forum where it is run by a braclet holder would rock.

If I get in the Main Event and I'm still around when those events start, he gets his money back.

Last year, these were "add-on" events and were not for bracelets. This year, they are part of the official schedule and I believe they are:

Well, now that I lost all my chips with KK, I've got this whole Main Event thing out of my system.

So, that means I'll be available to play in the $1500 and the $1000 tourneys.... which, accordiong to the TV schedule I just found, will not be televised:
