did you see

Did anyone take notice of the WSOP main event......Day 1 A,B, and C all had about 1k ppl in them.....but day D had the max 2700.. is was said they had to trun ppl away....then ended up having about 6400 entrants but said they had to trun away about 500 ppl....thats alot of ppl to be truned away from the WSOP main event.

They were gonna start sitting ppl at 10 and 11 person tables to try to acomodate the addotional players but they said it would be unfair to day 1 A,B,and C players so they didn't.

Some notable pros were turned away from the event too Such as Ted Forest, T.J. Clutier, and Phil Lauck.....Huck Seed was also truned away at first but then was later seated on account of the fact that he was this year NBC Heads Up Champion and they felt it neccisary to have him in the feild...later it was said it was just b/c he had wire transfer problems from ceasars.
Like always we will watch our favorite pros go through this massive field... even though some of them were aliminated on sday one some early while others fought off there low stacks for awile were still eliminated.

Well i hope to see a few pros at the final table and i hope this is the year of the pros

well the problem here is 4th of july was going on and i dont know to many people who wants to waste the 4th playing poker. for me about spending time with the family and bbq'ing. so i blame it on them for the way they scheduled it. at the same time the schedule was posted a head of time and the people who were left out shuold of knew better then wait for the last day.

[esmordan]

just so you know it was same time last year and thier were no problems then....they had 6900 entrants last years and none were even close to capacity....care to explain?

[eejit101]

Harrahs in no way can take any blame for this.

People turning up 10mins before game time, when they have had 4 months to register are stupid.

Patrik Antonius shud know better, same for TJ. Asses

[esmordan]

yeah i know they should know better....but just the fact that they had to trun away soo many...incredable....it was also said patric got seated eventually

[eejit101]

ya but that was a lie.

If he did and i got turned away id be pissed.

[targetguy1]

i was reading a report somewhere and was talking about a US soilder who just got back from war and just literaly got off then plane and went to sign up and told him no.

kinda upsettig someone who is defending our freedom takes his leave to go do the one thing he wanted to do and is told no.

[eejit101]

Rules are rules. Id feel a bit bad but id still turn him away. If the damn ARMY cant use the internet on their time off to reserve a spot which takes 10 minutes, then WTF.

They arent at war 24/7, they do have free time between the liberating and pillaging

And he is not defending your country. He is 75% likely in Iraq/Iran, 25% Afghanistan.

Both of those shoulda been finished by now.

[GloBug]

well i see it as way to get more people next year. ah boo for all the pros that didnt get in. it serves them right to try and show up near the start and get denied. just because your a pro doesnt mean u should get special priveledges. like it mattered none of them was gonna win it anyways. no pro will ever win again. lol

[targetguy1]

And he is not defending your country. He is 75% likely in Iraq/Iran, 25% Afghanistan.

how is that not defending his country? where is bin laden from? i understand rules are rules but you it got flexed for some but ot all which is not right all.

[GloBug]

well i was watching espn and there is a father of a US soldier(name is Pruitt) that was killed b4 he got home and had paid for his buyin. well he didnt make it back from iraq. he was killed in action. there 10 in his squad and all but 2 were killed but pruitt had put his life ont he line so those 2 could live. well his dad playing for him and there also a few others from there town in goergia that are playing in his memory. well if any of them cash they will give half to the 2 families of the survivors. now thats a good story. one thing i found funny was there shirts were littered with FT logos. hmmm are trying to cash in on a trajedy.
