So I went to watch my first big poker tourney today at Fallsview and was blown away by the whole thing. Just walking into the room was such a great feeling and being able to meet some amazing players was more then I could of hoped for.
I was able to meet and talk with Gavin Smith, an amazing guy who really was the only one talking with anyone today. I also saw Eric Seidel, but didn't really have the opportunity to talk to him except shake hands. I was shocked how completley dead the spectating viewing was....mind you there were still hundreds of players playing 1240s upstairs, at about 6pm I saw 8 tables going and over 80 names on the list, same deal when I left at 10pm. Anyways it was a great experience just to see it and good luck to those of you playing tomorrow/sunday.
There were 125 people played Friday and they played down to I think 85ish? but I could be way off, I kind of forgot that number. They also played untill about 9:15, I think it ended up being 10 minutes left in level 5? Correct me if I'm wrong...anyway it was a lot of fun to watch and play some cash upstairs, not too bad of a wait for 5-10 at all, and cool to be able to see some action downstairs.
Anyways good luck all, I'll be heading down again sat/sun and next week to cheer on fellow forumers!!

I made it to Day 2, which starts at noon on Thanksgiving Monday. Forumer "Fallsview", who was the tournament director in all the previous WPT Fallsview events, also played on Friday. The experience was fantastic, but unfortunately, I don't know if I'll have time to post a detailed trip report. Dead Money is playing on Saturday. I don't know when SirWatts, Choron, crazykoby (anybody else?) are playing. Quote:
