One point that seems be missing is the magnitude of what is being offered. There will be less than 100 people in this contest (I think there were about 75-80 last year). One of these is guananteed to win $175,000. That is a life changing amount of money. There are not many situations where you can leave the track with that kind of money let alone be guaranteed that one of the people in the room with you will.

Add in six qualifying spots to the NHC with a free trip to Vegas and a free roll at another half million for those that have not yet qualified. I would guess that about 25% of those in the contest will have already qualified making the odds even better.

I understand it is a lot of money and this is not for everyone. But I did it last year and had a great time. I didn't hesitate a second to enter again this year either.
