HELP WANTED
The 2011 World Series of Poker is currently offering temporary positions for poker players. Players may earn up to $18,385 per hour. Applicants must be willing to work up to 12 hours per day. No experience is necessary.
Hays worked just four days at the Rio Las Vegas, assigned to a specific poker tournament designated as the $1,500 buy-in No-Limit Hold'em Championship. He put in 40 total hours. He was granted several breaks, including one hour each day for dinner. He was able to wear shorts, a sweatshirt, and flip flops to work. He even got to sleep until noon during each of the four days he was employed.
Hays collected a nice-sized paycheck totaling $735,400. His salary was calculated based on working three 12-hour shifts, plus one 4-hour shift on his final day. His 40 combined hours amounted to a net income of $18,385 per hour. Hays was even permitted to bring along many of his friends to work on his final day. The friends spent most of their time at Hays' place of employment shouting encouragement, celebrating exciting hands and drinking beer.
Interested players are encouraged to show up at the Rio, and apply. There were 58 positions available this summer – 19 of which have already been filled. That leaves 39 positions still open. Applications are being taken now through July 19th.

Today, one additional player was hired. His name was Foster Hays, from Dallas, TX.
Hays would be the first to admit that he didn’t have much of an employment resume. He had never done this kind of work before. For instance, Hays had absolutely no previous WSOP experience. Nevertheless, he managed to be a quick learner on the job. Hays' primary duties and responsibilities included sitting around a series of poker tables and playing cards the entire time.
