I bought this pin when I played in the World Series of Poker in 2006. I'm just kidding, I never played in the WSOP. But I did go watch in 2006. The event was held at the Rio Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, and I just happened to be in Vegas while it was taking place. Of course, there are so many events that it runs from May to July so the chances of being there at the same time are pretty good. I wasn't there for the Main Event, but I was there for one of the other big events so I got to see a lot of famous players sitting at the tables. I even happened to meet Scotty Nguyen out in the convention area! The poker players out there know who that is and are probably jealous. It was a big thrill for me. Anyway, it was fun to go down there and walk around and watch some poker. I got a bunch of free shirts and stuff from the vendors in the convention area, and I bought this pin, too. It's a cool reminder of a fun experience.
