Brian Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 Bad start. Associated Press Ivey skipping WSOP in protest of Full Tilt By OSKAR GARCIA , 06.01.11, 11:59 AM EDT LAS VEGAS -- Poker's biggest superstar, Phil Ivey, says he's skipping the World Series of Poker because he's disappointed and embarrassed that his sponsor, Full Tilt Poker, hasn't paid back player deposits after pulling out of the U.S. market. Ivey says in a statement posted on his Facebook page late Tuesday that he's angry that players who support him have been treated poorly by the company facing severe legal problems.

I was pretty confident we'd be paid up until Ivey's announcement. In other news they announced they'll be adding a million dollar buy-in tourney next year to the WSOP. lolz.

Ha What's really comical is if 22 people register they will offer a bracelet for winning. Professional poker players committed to playing include Doyle Brunson, Andy Beal, Patrik Antonius, Gus Hansen, and Tony Guoga. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

witesoxfan Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 Was Hellmuth's 11th in Hold Em or not? I know his first 10 were and I seem to remember him making a commitment a few years back to try quite a bit harder on the other games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeBatterz Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 3 Frenchies already have won. With poker legal overseas online, might see more and more Europeans make up the field and winning the minor events leading up to the Main Event.

It's pretty sad american adults can't login to an online poker site in their free time. There's still sites you can play on in the US. Like Merge Network, Bodog, etc...

flavum Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Not sure I like the live coverage too much. One guy was thinking about a move for 10 minutes last night. A little excessive and not TV friendly. I hope Lamb wins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's right, 49!!! Of course, it's why ESPN heavily edits their recap shows. Gotta feel that guy thought he was in a race at best and not a big dog.

cabiness42 Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Edited Main Event Coverage starts Tuesday. This year they are skipping the Day 1s and 2s completely and starting with Day 3 to get more name pros and eventual November 9 players on the TV coverage.
