From the WSOP Rules....
The one-player-to-a-hand rule will be compulsory.

Someone PLEASE tell me how this guy is not violating this rule. I don't give a rats ass about his personal situation. I could come with 100 other situations that would make it impossible for someone to play without violating this rule. Does that mean they should all be permitted to play too just because they have the 10k? Having the buy-in is only a PART of the requirement to play in this event. The other is being able to play the game with no assistance.

The Americans with Disabilities Act makes this a moot point. If you have a rule that doesn't provide reasonable accommodations for someone with a disability, you have to change it. End of story. I mean you can just say no, but Hal would take more than first place in the ME with the civil suit that would follow. So, instead of changing the rule, the Harrah's has apparently just made some exceptions on a case by case basis. Their choices are to make accommodations or get the [censored] sued out of them. They chose the former.
