Default Beat: Hundreds of WSOP players left with $10k burning a hole in their pocket

Wow.



Can't really blame Harrah’s here -- there were three other days with plenty of room to choose from.

Can't imagine what those side games must be like with all that extra money floating around.

WTF were these guys thinking? I mean, regardless of what day they wanted to play, it didn't even cross their minds to register in advance?

Really?

Is there some advantage to playing on day 1D? This sounds fucked to me.

I know a lot of people wanted 1C as they thought the online pros would be playing the majors. But I don't know about 1D.

I read something about this and it really does baffle me, I haven't and may never play in the WSOP but if the day ever comes that I do I will want to know that my seat is secure and that I'm in. there are 4 day 1's and I really dont see an advantage to playing on the last one unless you satty your way in and have to pay extra for accommodation, if you play day 1a and have to wait 3 more days to play again.

But the like of PA and TJ Cloutier really should know better.

Arrogant fucks think they can just walk in 10mins before its shuffling up and buy in. Im soo happy they couldnt.

Idiots. Id register ASAP to avoid disapointment. Its not hard, and it takes less time than you think.

ITs just the most appealing day.

no one wants to play Day 1A then have a 4 day break. Also people that work have to take off extra days/book hotels for extra time etc

Day 1B is July 4th. Who the hell wants to play that

That leaves Day 1C and 1D as the biggest draws....1D more so bc theres less of a wait in between playing days

Yeah, I mean, would you rather play 1A and wait 3 days to play Day Two? Or would you like to play Day one and Day two back to back?

It's gotta suck to be turned away from the ME with $10k in hand.

Even worse was a guy who showed up for Day 1D to play but then was told he had registered for Day 1A ... they were looking to see if his stack survived the day

Actually if you think about it playing 1a could be an advantage, if you get through to day 2 then you have 3 days to watch and get notes on players which you may not of come across, especially some europeans or asian online qualifiers that dont use PS or FTP.

jdiana hits a new low. I mean... W T F ? ? ?

As for this:

The schedule actually goes:
1A
1B
1C
1D
2A
2B
OFF
3
4
etc...

So...., it's really a 4 day wait from Day 1A to Day 2A and then ANOTHER 3 days between 2A and 3. So if you play Day 1A, you've been in Vegas more than a week by the time you get to Day 3.

Conversely, even if you play Day 1D, you still get a Day off before Day 2B and then another before Day 3. So that's why Day 2D was by far the most popular.

Still, no excuse.
