Did this start today? Pokerpages live updates noted Men Nguyen got a refund for his USPC buyin and went to the PPL. Plus the field is missing several regulars.

Most of the "64 of the best poker players in the world" who "mastered the art of playing the poker game behind the poker game" in order to secure their selection to the PPL chose to "skip" the USPC so that they can be at the Venetian Las Vegas on Saturday for the PPL "inaugural draft" in order to get GUARANTEED TV EXPOSURE TIME.
The USPC took a hit from the PPL, but not that big a hit. 261 players, about 1/2 the size of the field compared to the WPT at the Borgata 2 weeks ago.
The PPL succeeded in being the "PPT-killer", but didn't really succeed as the "USPC-killer".
