The Fantasy Football Players Championship (FFPC) Main Event-the world’s most lucrative public, full-season fantasy league is set in Las Vegas Ceasar’s Palace this year. All those here today-and hundreds more who will draft here tomorrow, or online-are chasing the same dream the vacationers two floors down are grasping at when they feed their bills into the slot machines: money, adrenalin, bragging rights. Stories to tell. Stan Misthios, the Toronto-born 45-year-old, who lives in Raleigh, N.C., and runs a hockey training facility, is one of the best at what he’s doing, paid $1,875 to be here, and $300,000 is riding on the moves he makes tonight.
