I just won a spot in the WPT World Championship Event starting 12-14 ($10,400 Buy-in).
Where can I get a complete itinerary of the schedule of events and times for the whole week of 12-14 through 12-21.
I have been told that I will play on Saturday 12-14 and if I have survived then not again until Tuesday 12-17. If I survive Tuesday then not again until Saturday 12-21…
No poker for the WPT World Championship Event Main on Wednesday, Thursday or Friday of that week?
Obviously this will be my first time at the WPT event in Las Vegas and am excited to learn the schedule so I can make room and flight reservations ahead of time.
Will there be any “blocked” rooms or discounted rooms for the entrants at the Wynn that I can choose?
Thanks in advance for your response.
