12:45pm: Call cab since everyone else drove in for 12pm event. 10mins to an hour wait time. OK could potentially be cutting it close but no worries.
1:15pm: Call back cab company. No one in the area wait another 10-15.
1:30pm: Call again. No one making any attempt to get here still.
1:45pm: Call again. Lady says she's going to try to get me a cab gets on phone. 10 mins pass she has no luck. Tells me to keep waiting.
2:05pm: Bond comes through the door busto before the first break as usual. I run out into the street chasing his cab waving my arms. Sprint for a block but I'm not closing distance.
210pm: Call back cab company offer $100 tip for a ride.
2:30pm: Have basically given up since I can't think of anyone that can come get me and I will probably be blinded off.
2:35pm: Kicking empty router box around the house on life tilt.
2:40pm: Call from Deeb wondering where the fuck I am. Explain situation he says he can find me a ride.
2:45pm: PokerNews posts update saying I have 4K in chips.
3:05pm: Geoff (mini-Thayer) and Shaun still not here. I am certain I will have been blinded off by the time I get there so I tell them thanks for trying. Sorry guys for making u come this way but I appreciate it.
Anyways a similar thing happened to me in a $1K rebuy event last year but I was able to get a ride in and only miss a couple orbits and we were in the money by the time I got there. Las Vegas cabbies who won't leave the strip because it costs them money can all go fuck themselves. Ace cab company when I do finally win a bracelet I am going to celebrate by going to your head offices and burning you to the ground. If you see an Ace cab kick the door in for me.

Thanks for the update. I saw the same 4k update on the WSOP website.
I saw the update on PokerNews too and wondered what had happened. When in Vegas, I always ride the bus.
Fuckenhorrible.
