Re: If you made the final table of the main event
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] The rule last year (at least for the preliminary events before the Main Event) was that you could not negotiate an endorsement for a televised final table once the final table was decided. In other words, if you didn't have a pre-existing agreement with an online sponsor before the final table was decided, you had to wait until after the event to sign a deal. I don't know how strictly it's enforced, but the online sites seemed to respect the rule, and I didn't see any players come to a final table sponsored who weren't previously sponsored. -Aces [/ QUOTE ] I kind of doubt that. I don't see how they could enforce that unless you have to sign something before the tournament starts. Even then, what could they possibly do other than make you not wear a FullTilt shirt (they prob couldn't even do that). [/ QUOTE ] Hmmmm...okay...then let me re-phrase my response... I made a final table last year. Just before the they let us go on break before the final table, the tournament director said that we were not allowed to negotiate any new deals with the online sponsors for that final table appearance. I didn't see any players come to a final table sponsored who weren't previously sponsored. -Aces [/ QUOTE ] Thanks for the info and congrats on your final table. I guess I was just wondering how they would police that, not let you play if you changed shirts or something. Also thought that final tables were played the next day, not just after a break. BTW, what final table did you make? How did you do?

Other than making the statement, they didn't seem to try to enforce it at all (again, I don't think anyone did it anyway). My best guess is that the WSOP has an agreement with the online sponsors, and that the online sponsors agree to refrain from this activity. In fact, the day *after* my final table, I was approached by Full Tilt for sponsorship for the rest of the 2005 Series. I took second place in the $1500 Limit event, the one that was won by Eric Froelich, the 21 year-old... -Aces

He has no authority to dictate such things on the fly. If it is stipulated pre-tourney that is one thing, but making such statements is pretty bogus. Congrats on the final table, BTW.

Re: If you made the final table of the main event
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] I thought I had read that Andrew Black was less than thrilled with the treatment the Party folks were giving him. He won his seat through them but I thought he wore Full Tilt stuff at the final table. Anyone have a link or know whether I am remembering this accurately or not? [/ QUOTE ] Indeed, you are correct sir. Supposedly the story goes that he was treated like crap until they got down to the last few hundred or so and then they started sucking up to him. He completely blew them off. Kanter was paid 2.5 million for the shirt at the final table. [/ QUOTE ] you do realize that Andrew Black and Aaron Kanter are not the same person, right?

[/ QUOTE ] Yes, they were two separate statements. Black didn't want to deal with them and went to Full Tilt and the STORY WENT that PP offered Aaron money to wear the shirt, he wanted 2 million for it and they agreed. But this is JUST WHAT I READ ON 2+2.

Good to have you on the forums, Jason. Will you teach us how to do the stare? [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] [/ QUOTE ] Thanks... You'd be surprised how easy it is to pull off a vacant stare at 4am after playing for two straight days, and heads-up for 4 hours... [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] And I've actually been on this forum for quite a while (check out the registration date)...just don't post much... -Aces
