Having won the first of the six InsidePoker Freerolls back on January 10th and the prize of VIP Trip to London and personal Poker Training from Annette Oberstad in the WSOPE Training Camp, I have eventually received the phone calls and emails I"ve been long awaiting. After much to-ing and fro-ing and general stubbornness regarding my expenses, I"ve managed to get them to agree to reimburse me for the full £132 flights.
So, if anyone is interested, my itinerary reads;
Wednesday 17th September 2008
Flight Glasgow leaving 11am > Heathrow arriving 12:25pm
Tube to Hammersmith where I"ll be met by Estelle at Hammersmith Tube Station for the short walk to the BetFair offices.
Whenever I get there "til 13:30 - An informal buffet lunch
13:30 til 18:00 - "Exclusive tuition for both Single and Multi Table Tournament strategy from the reigning WSOPE Champion herself" and "a Single Table Tournament along with the other five winners" ($1,000 Winner Takes All)
Wed Night - Dinner with Annette (she"s been roped into this apparently as it"s being billed as a dinner to celebrate her last full day as a teenager).
More drinks and a night out on "a substantial drinks allowance". I"ll be quite happy if they want to live it up with the Pros in the WSOPE Lounge if such a place exists
One nights accommodation in the 4 star Novotel Hotel a short walk away.
Thursday 18th September 2008
Flight Heathrow leaving 13:05 to Glasgow arriving 14:35
Wish me luck! And if there"s anything anyone would like me to ask / thinks I should ask the Norwegian Millionairess and current WSOPE Champ, feel free to post it on here.
