Default Re: WPT should be sued

Chicks who are very pregnant shouldn't play in multi-day high-stakes poker events. Isn't that stunningly obvious? If it wasn't obvious before the tourney, it should be by now. And the WPT nor Ted Forrest are responsible for her physical well-being. She made the decision to take that risk. What's shocking isn't that WPT didn't postpone the event--what's shocking is that a poker player would risk her health and the life of the fetus to continue playing poker.

I agree with everything mentioned here. The part in bold was what first came to mind. Seriously, 9 months pregnant, having horrible pains, you look down to see yourself covered in blood, and you keep playing? WTF? I wonder if that'll make the TV cut.

Of course it will, WPT wants nothing more than half the audience thinking they forced a pregnant woman to play, risking her babys health.
