Harrah's, WSOP turns away 500 registrants
Way to go, Harrah's.
A rigid cap of no more than 3,000 registering players per day was set for each of the four Day 1s of the World Series of Poker that began on Friday.
The first two days were no problem, as both together combined to almost 2,000.
But the last day, today, brought out all the procrastinators and bumped registration past the 3,000 mark.
Harrah's was firm and denied approximately 500 players who wanted to fork over their $10,000 buy-in entry, including poker professionals T.J. Cloutier and Patrik Antonius.
It looks like this year will come in under the number of entrants of last year... perhaps by 500 players.
