Rich.. You failed to mention the spots in the tournament that the Flamingo held for their VIP's who didn't even know what a silver strike was. How many spots will be held this time? It wasn't just active collectors or the ones who knew about it first who got all the spots. Those reserved spots could have gone a long way down that waiting list. I remember someone telling me this but I don't remember the actual number. I think it was Janel. I felt bad for the collectors who didn't get into the tournament last time but if they could control the dealers with their paid players and the multiple family entries such as mom, pop, sons, daughters, sisters, brothers and dogs....maybe they could leave us spouses alone.
My opinion only. I see your #01 strike and I think your wife was going to win it this time around. :)
