Hey all! I'm so thrilled to finally be able to participate in a CC team event!

I've been playing poker for almost 14 years now(been taking it seriously for probably the past 9 years) I've played in a few live events before, including WSOP main event, but unfortunately no cashes. I Play live cash/tournaments at my local casino a few times a month and have had some decent success. Most of my major cashes have been online, but hoping to turn that around with a bink in this event🙂

I'm a forum guide at here at CardsChat and also part of the league team. I've been involved with our league for 14 seasons, and 9 seasons straight as captain of The LAG Monkeys

I'm pretty well known around the forum and can't wait to finally get to meet some of you! Rungood to us all!!!! #TeamCardsChatFTW

Hi, my name is Roman Pereyaslavsky and I'm a new cardschat member. I'll be playing Sunday 10 am wave. Went deep in the first ever Millionaire Maker (~240 out of almost 8000), a few deep runs in daily deepstacks and plenty of wins/cashes in local tournaments in Vancouver area. Twitter @rpereyaslavsky.

PM sent! gonna be hosting an EPIC private room karaoke party for all sad bustouts at this sweet spot we found 4 minutes from the Rio....in case you want to know what kind of event this will be....there will be light up LED tambourines and a pyramid of empty shot glasses involved.
 
I sure wish I could play for CC, but I didn't know I was going to be in Vegas this year. And I won't get there until the 6th (after all the flights).

But maybe I will run into some of you while we are there!

Best of luck to Everyone! May we all come back a little richer!
