WSOP Event #5

Not sure if I mentioned it here or not, but I've decided to donk off $1500 by playing the PLO event at this year's WSOP. I'll likely be a fish out of water, but I've been thinking about making a run at one of these events for a few years now, and figured now was as good a time as any. PLO seems to be my best bet, as there's typically less people compared to the HE events. I'm hoping that my exploits at the micros are going to pay for it. If they do, super, if not, I've got the cash. I've also got a few thousand FPP's that I want to throw at satellite qualifiers for the big one. If they're run like they were last year, if you win, they make a $12k deposit in your account and I don't think you're obligated to enter the ME.

Looks like a nice structure:


They posted the structure recently, and one thing that kinda weirded me out was the fact that this was supposed to be a no re-buy/no add-on tournament, but at the bottom of the structure sheet, is says the following:

Players begin with $1,500 in Tournament Chips. Players may receive (2) additional Add-ons for $1,500 in tournament chips each, anytime during the first three levels. Any player that has not taken their add-ons by the end of the third level will automatically receive them.

Huh? Does this mean that I'm entitled to an additional $3k in chips for my initial $1500? Someone explain it to me.

The wife has agreed to join me under a few criteria. All of the following must be met:

Hotel must be nice, central, and have an awesome pool.
I must have dinner with her each night.
I must go to at least one show.
I must spend at least one day with her.

That last one might be tough...
