We’ve tried very hard since November to negotiate a settlement of the release with the World Poker Tour. We were bargaining in good faith as best we could. There are some very important elements of that release that are completely unacceptable. There are other issues beside the release, but I’d day the release was the thing that got us here.

By now we have all heard about the Daniel Negreanu controversy involving the No-Limit Hold’em Shootout event. In a nutshell, here’s what happened. Figuring that it was going to start nine- or ten-handed, Daniel caught up on some much needed sleep and arrived an hour late to the tournament, only to discover that his table had started short-handed and David Singer had wiped out all the other players at the table.

Scott Fischman’s record has been broken. In 2004 Fischman became the youngest player in World Series history to win two gold bracelets. He was 23 at the time. Early this morning Eric “E-Fro” Froelich erased Fischman’s name from the record books and inserted his own by winning the $1,500 Pot-Limit Omaha with Re-Buys event, his second bracelet in the last two years. He only turned 22 five months ago. At this rate he’ll smash the record for most bracelets won in a career. You listening, Phil Hellmuth? Those are E-Fro’s footsteps you hear coming.

What prompted our lawsuit against the WPT was three years of intransigence from the leadership of the World Poker Tour. We’ve had issues like this for years and years. We have done our absolute best to approach them and come to a settlement for both parties. They refused. They said it was their way or the highway, and we chose the legal way. We have the best legal team in the country, and we know we’re on firm ground and we will not let it stand, what’s going on right now.

“Why is John Juanda working on the printer?”
“Is that John Juanda getting a massage?”
“Are you one the Orientals in the Phil Ivey commerical?”
- Just a few of the questions Kurt, who looks nothing like John Juanda, has had to fade during his time at the WSOP.

It’s always good to knock out a player. You go up in prize money, you gain some chips, you avoid being the shortest stack. When you’re the shortest stack, that’s when you feel like you have to gamble, and you can’t play the same basic game that you would otherwise. The whole nature of the game changes when you’re the short stack.

For a half hour this afternoon the Full Tilt lounge turned into an impromptu poker academy, and, initially a disinterested bystander, I suddenly found myself the lucky beneficiary of all that shared knowledge. Michael Craig, bestselling author of The Professor, The Banker, and The Suicide King, kicked off the discussion when he entered the lounge, spotted Andy Bloch and Andy Black relaxing on the couches, and said, “I’ve got a question for the two Andys.”

At this point in the World Series I have stopped paying attention to first days, especially in low-stakes events like today’s $1,500 No-Limit Hold’em event. These tournaments attract huge fields, poor play, and horrific beats. It’s all a bit too much, and it gets even more painful to watch every time some amateur’s dream of hitting for a big score on the world’s biggest poker stage gets shattered. Their first reaction is to get on their cell phone and bemoan their rotten luck to anyone willing to listen. Mine is to steer clear of the Amazon Room.

So for all those keeping track… First, Harrah’s (I am using the title of the corporate entity because I honestly don’t know who is in charge around here and I’m not sure “they” know either) turned this morning’s $1,500 Pot-Limit Omaha tournament into a re-buy event with less than 24-hours notice. And then this morning, after getting an earful from all those who had signed up to play in that event but didn’t have the bankroll to keep re-buying, they changed it back into a regular pot-limit Omaha tournament.
