    This year, the media was also kept on a tighter leash, so players were saved from having to endure the physical and psychological improprieties of 2005, as when careless paparazzi bumped JJ Liu with an unwieldy camera lens, clipping her head as her bonnet fell to the floor. And Greg Raymer was seen protecting his hole cards from a persistent reporter crouched behind his chair. Let’s face it; there are very few media groups who understand poker Jeffrey Pollack and Gary Thompsonetiquette, and a select few who diligently covered the WSOP when the sport suffered in popularity.
    What a bunch of absolute cúnts.

    omg... I can't believe that piece.

    In January of this year, long before the first card was pitched, we spoke with WSOP commissioner Jeffrey Pollack. Back then he was already addressing 2005 concerns and issues. But being Pollack’s first visit to the WSOP, he had little time to prepare for this year’s record-breaking turnout. Yet he successfully implemented some necessary changes, for a noticeable difference in design and functionality.

    “I want us to be the best poker brand in the world, and the best poker brand in the sports and entertainment community,” says Pollack. “We still have some work to do, but again, I think we have a great running start.”

    Notice how the first thing he says isnt "I want us to run the best tournament in poker history" its "I want us to be the best poker brand in the world, and the best poker brand in the sports and entertainment community"

    In that distinction lies everything that was wrong with this year's WSOP.

    Carplayer chugged corporate cock and I've lost all respect for them as a news outlet. They are clearly in Harrahs pocket now... so sad, too bad.

    ps:Karl, I'd point out that that sig breaks our sig-rules but I know you'll just change it to conform. You cúnt.
