i was looking forward to playing this event, but a couple of hours ago some genius at Harrahs decided to make it a rebuy event.
apparently you can get a refund,,but,, wtf it has been on the schedule for 6 months.

What is wrong with these people???

Can you show me anywhere online that confirms this, because cardplayer and the WSOP site seem to not.

I just came back from the Rio and I heard the exact same thing. I was at a 2-5 PLO game and two of the guys playing were complaining about it too.

Not sure what lead Harrah's to this decision, but I know a lot of people are not happy about it.

I was at the Rio today and I assure you it was changed to a rebuy event.

OK, my friend was going to play in this, so we just called the Rio.

It is true. This is NOW A REBUY TOURNAMENT.

The decision was made at 5 P.M. tonight. They offered no reason.

The structure will be the same as the other rebuy tournaments:

Can rebuy at the beginning.

Everyone can double rebuy at the end of the rebuy period.

We didn't ask about the length of the rebuy period. We also didn't ask when you can rebuy although I imagine it's whenever you drop below 1500 chips as usual.

To realistically compete, I imagine you'd need AT LEAST $15,000 available, given the number of pros who will be trying to buy their way to a bracelet.

I know there are a bunch of people from Europe who came over here SPECIFICALLY for this event, and they are now FCKED.

I really can't express how retarded this is.

Who's going to call Gaming about this one?

This would seem to be the perfect time for people to go on "strike" at the WSOP.

the thing is every PLO event besides the 10K event has always been rebuy (i guess because the chips fly a bit more than hold em). Maybe it was a mistake on the schedule. However, someone probably should have changed it in the last 6 months.

I heard that todays was event was originally supposed to be a £1500 Pot Limit Omaha event with rebuys but that they misprinted the literature. This would make perfect sense as a freezeout PLO tourney would be pretty fast with only 1500 statring chips.

Howvever I also heard that they were going to leave it as published (a freezeout) because of the typing omission.

To be honest I believe that them changing it back to a rebuy tournament is the correct thing to do but what they should have done is highlighted it to everyone at the time of the buy in - ie they should have put notices up or printed this on the tickets.

Now that it has changed I would also think that the FAIREST and most SENSIBLE thing to do is for them to make an announcement before start of play that anyone wanting a refund could withdraw and get their money back in full prior to the start of play.

In fact should anyone from The WSOP read this I would actually bet that it would be odds on that they announce refunds available prior to the start of play for all who want them.

It would be the VERY LEAST they could do.

Man, all hell will break loose when some of these players show up to find out they're playing in a rebuy when they paid to play in a freezeout. I think Harry's little outburst may seem tame compared to what you might see today.

Just so you all know, I showed up early this morning to play in this event and they are specifically telling everyone that it is a rebuy and you can get a refund if you want. They allowed me to roll my buy-in over to tomorrow's event. Only problem will be for those who show up late, not sure what will happen then.

Wrong. This event last year was a freezeout, won by Barry Greenstein, and yes it did go very fast. I'm sure they meant to make it a rebuy this year(rather than, oh, increase the startin stacks), but some secretary prolly just copy/pasted from last years schedule.

That's gonna be a fun time 'round the cage this afternoon.

Lawman007
07-17-2006, 02:01 PM
The fact that they will refund entry fees because of their latest mistake doesn't solve the problem. What about the players who flew in just to play in this event but can't afford a bunch of rebuys? What about the players who can afford rebuys but don't bring enough cash with them to the Rio because they thought they were playing in a freezeout?

You would think that somebody in that gigantic corporation would have proofread the literature for typos before it was distributed. Instead, no one caught it until the day before the tournament?!

Harrahs sure has turned the WSOP into a circus. I don't want to think about what kind of debacle the massive Main Event is going to be.

Kevmath

According to pokernews.com, it is now back to $1,500 with NO rebuys.

Mr.JR
07-17-2006, 02:32 PM
Poker News (http://www.pokernews.com/) says that after changing to rebuys, it's going back to a freezeout.

"To Rebuy, or not to Rebuy....that is the question
The rumor this morning was that today's $1,500 Pot Limit Omaha event had been changed to a rebuy event. As of just a few minutes ago, we were told the event was 'back to a freezeout' (no rebuys). Any last minute changes would be expecially interesting decisions given the firestorm of controversy after a questionable decision to play a the shootout event 6 handed, not 10 handed. Interesting happenings at the WSOP..."

Are you serious? When are they going to make up their mind? After the tourney starts, like yesterday?

What a joke! "It's not a rebuy........it is a rebuy........it's not a rebuy." This is beginning to sound like an Abbott and Costello routine.

Oh, but the drama's not over, and nobody can defend the current state of things. A friend just called the WSOP tournament office to ask, and was told it had been changed BACK to a non-rebuy event. He then pressed the issue and was told 'well they might allow rebuys at 4pm'. From the official tournament office. I was incredulous so I called from a different phone. It took two tries to get through, but here was the conversation:

Me: What's up with the PLO tourney today?
Harrah's: What?
Me: Is the omaha tournament today with rebuys or not?
Harrah's: There are no rebuys. (period, end of statement.)
Me: I thought I heard something about rebuys at 4pm?
Harrah's: Yes, I heard something about that, they might allow rebuys at 4pm.
Me: Well is there someone you can ask who might know? This is something we need to know to decide if we are going to play or not!
Harrah's: hang on. (pause). I'm told that there will probably be rebuys at 4pm, yes.
Me: 'probably'? But your standard response if someone asks you is to say 'no'? If I hadn't heard something about this and asked a follow up question, you never would have told me? (mildly raised voice, clearly bewildered)
Harrah's: Sir, i have a SHEET (pissy, she continued on but i hung up)

Harrah's is the worst thing to ever happen to the WSOP. The evidence continues to mount. If the series continues this way, I hope the new players' alliance run by Jesse Jones allies with a different casino group, brings back Johnny Grooms, and allies with the online cardrooms to start a directly competing, far superior tournament series in Vegas in the summer.

I realize this one incident is not enough to support this conclusion, but they [censored] EVERYTHING up. Here's a partial list:

-Supposed 'auditing' procedures making it a major hassle to get paid
-Other moronic 'auditing' changes that make no sense whatsoever, such as asking the first names of single table satellite participants, then writing them down without checking ID, and then having the winner SIGN THEIR FIRST NAME to claim the prize, without ID or a printed name other than what they give. WTF?
-The same crappy cards that were clearly inadequate last year
-Being unclear and unorganized about tournaments -- the shootout, and now today's PLO.
-I talked to the Grinder yesterday and he claimed to have single-handedly altered the structure of the Omaha event, during the event, partially enabled by there not being a previously prepared structure sheet
-The infamous lockbox incident.
-Charging a higher 'WSOP player rate' for hotel rooms than for random unassociated people reserving on their website, for many non-main-event periods of the WSOP.
-Many players showing up at the rio to find that despite having paid a deposit and having a reservation, they do not have a room there
-Many, many people being told over the phone, even prior to the wire transfer deadline for event one, that 'there's no way it will sell out, don't wire your money, just show up and pay when you get here'. Some arrived late the night before to find they had no hotel room and could not get into the tournament, or if they could they'd miss the first several hours.
-selling exclusive access for reporting to cardplayer.com
-Putting MAJOR PRESSURE on internet media to only report favorable stories, to the point where if you print something negative they force you to take it down immediately if they hold leverage (the demetriou story on cardplayer.com) or call you in and flat out lie to you about events you have personally witnessed in an attempt to get you to pull your story (a situation I have personal knowledge of but will not identify further). Trust me, the poker press you see about the WSOP is VERY controlled by harrah's, and they care a lot more about how things look in the media than how the tournaments are actually run.

Harrah's made a few good changes, sure. There are decent $6 cheeseburgers and a wide variety of crappy food available with short lines and not-too-outrageous prices. We can piss now. But that these are the good changes made only underscores the very important major shortcoming: Nobody in charge has a [censored] clue about poker. They are able to make changes to improve things that have very little to do with poker, but anything regarding the integrity of the game they completely blow. Harrah's bought the WSOP because poker is 'hot' and they thought they could make some money and build their brand with it. The actual poker, the integrity of the game, is the least of their concerns. It's only a concern that when they [censored] up things so bad that their control of the media cannot possibly stop outrage, they try to calm people and band-aid the situation.

Harrah's is the worst thing to ever happen to the WSOP. This was their year to show that things would improve, but things have gone straight downhill. But, hey, at least we can quickly get $6 burgers, and then later crap away the residue without delay.

Lawman007
07-17-2006, 02:43 PM
So now they are going to allow rebuys at 4:00 p.m.? /images/graemlins/confused.gif

Harry's comments about Johnny Grooms are interesting. There certainly weren't these types of problems when Johnny was running things.

Johnny is now the tournament director at the Gold Strike in Tunica. They recently had a big tournament down there, and he ran things flawlessly, as usual.

He told me that he left Harrahs because of a difference of opinion over how players should be treated. I think we are all seeing that for ourselves now.

Confirmed. Freezeout to start at 12:20 PM, rebuy at 4:00 PM. It was not clear to my friend whether they are both bracelet events.

Probably they'll have the winner of each event play heads-up NLHE for the bracelet. /images/graemlins/tongue.gif

I would think having a new rebuy tournament starting a few hours later would also have an impact on how you might play the first tournament. If I had the money, I think I would play somewhat faster planing to play at the later tournament if I bust out.

Like the post Harry made over at FCP, this post (http://www.thehendonmob.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=10589) on The Hendon Mob by Neil "Bad Beat" Channing seems to confirm that the "top pros" lobbied Harrah's to change the event to having rebuys, to "buy a bracelet". If true, it seems the greed of some professionals continues to edge towards Harrah's level.

*Insert Scanners picture*

Although I think it's the best option to add the second tourney, since the people who thought it was freezeout would be upset if there was no freezeout and those who thought it was rebuy would be upset they were wrong, this seems to appease both sides.

And we all know with Harrah's in charge, an extra tourney should be no problem... oh crap. This is going to be a trainwreck

There is an overwhelming stench around this whole event. Adding a tournament to the schedule in this way is so unbelievably unprofessional that Cash, Hookers, and/or Blow must be involved somehow.

CHB, baby. I hope somehow we get the real story eventually, although I highly doubt it.

A bracelet will awarded, and there will be no rebuys.........correction, there will be rebuys...............hold it, there won't be rebuys.............yes, there will.........no, there won't............

Well, I got in half an hour late. Both events are bracelet, there's about 500 in the freezout including a few name pros who are apparently going to try to play both somehow. Williamson, Men, I played with James Van Alstyne for a while. Still hanging around w/ 2K chips, blinds going to 50/100 after the break. People are going to be busting rapid fire.

This is seriously the most absurd thing I've heart yet.

Why not add a PLO 1500$ w/rebuys like, hmm, two days from now?! Are they utterly retarded? Why would you want to split yet another field? (excluding big pros who can spew money, cause no one can play two events at the same time successfully)

If they can add another event just like that, add it on a different day. WTF?!

Flop K74 one heart, turn T hearts, river 5 diamonds.

It hurts a little more than it should b/c I'm not rolled for this, but I had already written it off as an entertainment and learning expense. After seeing some of the play I'm positive I was +EV.

Good luck to anyone still in it. I hope I'll be playing the rebuy next year, or at least a 3K freezeout, which makes a hell of a lot more sense than 1500.

Okay, this is way worse than the shoot-out thing that was going on yesterday. At least Harrah's announced their terms for that one before hand (even if they were goofy).

I'd don't trust them to hold one tournament any more, much less FIVE AT ONCE.

I am sure he was at my table, we talked a bit while there. Can you describe yourself or the guys at your table at all?

So:
- Event 26, no rebuys
- Event 26b (as PokerPages calls it)/Event 300 (as PokerWire calls it) with rebuys. Chau leads as I write this.

I see Ralph/Raphael Perry won #26. Pokerwire refers to him by both names. I gather it's the well-know Russian guy who won it. But Hendon Mob lists both a Ralph Perry and a Raphael Perry in their DB! Are there two different ones, or are they the same one and Hendon Mob needs to clean up their DB?

I'd say they're one and the same.

In event 300, Eric "E-Fro" Froehlich won the $1,500 PLO/rebuy. I'd guess he's the youngest player with 2 bracelets.

Yes... that was me. (I came by a couple hours later and saw a big allin hand, you told me your 2p2 name then). Hope you made the $.

Rz - I had a blue pistons hat on, the table we were at had the guy in the 3 seat get an f-bomb penalty right before the first break. He checked two pair dark to me on a flush board, filled up on the river and I checked behind with the flush. He said [censored]! jokingly and got the penalty.
