Sunday and taping of the six-player TV final table is scheduled to begin at 6 p.m.
The schedule is for us to play 12 40-minute rounds or down to the money (top 10 percent get paid) Saturday night. Last year's event drew 301 players and more are expected this time around. The main event is scheduled to begin at 5 p.m. Out of 81 players, 16 advanced, and I fortunately was one of them. I qualified for the $1,650 buy-in main event through a multi-table satellite Saturday at Soaring Eagle. I'm diving head first into the world of live updates via Twitter this weekend, as I'll be participating in the Heartland Poker Tour event at Soaring Eagle Casino and Resort in Mount Pleasant. I even tracked the progress of Grand Rapids' Steven Dunkelberg, who finished 496th in the main event. was excellent in providing constant updates, but if I wanted first-person news from Daniel Negreanu or Doyle Brunson, I could just check their tweets. I discovered the power of Twitter during the World Series of Poker main event. Follow my progress in the Heartland Poker Tour event at Soaring Eagle this weekend at /JoshSlagter.
