Okay, rolled: PokerStars is going to do a tournament where the winner gets $100k to spend on any sports tickets they want

Posted by Will Hunting (aka JoeMetz) Apr 6 '11, 13:00

be it, you alone go to 1000 events at $100 a pop or you get 100 tickets to the event for you and 99 of your pals...

my question: What events would you pay to see?

Me: Augusta on a Sunday, US Open golf tourney on Sunday, Olympics 100m Men's Dash, World Cup Finals, Ryder Cup.
