The 2006 WSOP will likely have at least 8,000 participants, each ponying up $10,000 for the buy-in. The winner could take home $10 million. I will take vacation time and travel to Las Vegas to participate in this event, using $1,000 of my own money to complete the buy-in with nine other sponsors.
Any cash winnings garnered from the tournament will be split twelve ways. Each of the nine outside sponsors will receive a 1/12th cut, I will receive a 1/6th cut, since I am taking vacation time and paying for travel and lodging. A final l/12th of the winnings will be donated to a non-profit charity voted on by the nine outside sponsors, to be assessed equally from the nine sponsors as a tax write-off.
I am an experienced and successful online multi-table tournament player (my cashes are currently 155% of my buy-ins for the year), and I also have in-person tournament experience in Atlantic City. I recently came in first place in an online tournament against 450 players: http://www.pokerroom.com/account/profile.... This alone should demonstrate my potential for finishing in the money at the WSOP. This is a good opportunity for you to "invest" in a player, and live vicariously through my experience at the WSOP Main Event. I will update the sponsors twice each day with a voicemail report on the action and key plays of mine.
Once I have nine sponsors, I will have an attorney draw up a binding financial contract. If for any reason I cannot attend the WSOP, all contributions will be returned to investors. I can be reached at thekohser@yahoo.com for more information.
