HPWS 2014 Diary

Thought I might keep a running account of my trip to Vegas courtesy of THE ORLEANS HOTEL and PACE ADVANTAGE

From the moment I won "player of the year" here at PA everything in preparation for my trip has gone perfectly.

Jay Trotter put me in touch with Debbie Flaig at the Orleans and
I have been treated royally....room booked, entry to the HPWS taken care of and airfare reimbursed.

I fly out on Tuesday morning.........can't wait........... giving myself two days to get used to Pacific Time (and much better weather than we have here in Toronto), before the 3 day contest begins and will report back here once I have registered on Wednesday.

Cheers,

IK

Terrific

The very best of luck to you, IK

You have nothing to prove to all at PA.
Anyone who pays attention knows you're a fine handicapper.
Sure be sweet to bring home a nice chunk of change, though.

Do it!!!

Look forward to seeing you there !! I am coming from the east coast and will only have Wednesday to get used to the time change, plus my first trip to vegas, and first live handicapping tourney. Should be fun but overwhelming I'm sure...

Has anyone from PA ever taken down one of the bigger tournaments ?

Whats the major difference between the HPWS and NHC? Will we be able to follow Immanuel's progress during it?

There are a lot of differences.

HPWS is usually pretty good about updating the leaderboard, so Immanuel should be able to keep you updated.

There are 15 races a day, 3 days of competition, and there are no mandatory races.

Very cool, I would love to watch the races and players' picks from this site in real time to cheer them on!

Very best wishes Sheldon - hope you bring back the big prize, and in US Dollars, too!

Something tells me that, even if he wins the whole thing, as a Canadian - it won't be changing his tax bracket

Looking forward to your reports!

Ted
