This is a problem not just with the Copag WSOP cards, but with
all Copag cards
(Damn straight I bolded that.)
I have a couple of set-ups of Copag and the material composition is different than that of a Kem or Gemaco or A-Plus card - Copag cards are rather flimsy and are VERY easy to mark just by accident, particularly if you squeeze hard when looking at your hole cards. You'll notice on a lot of marked Copag cards (actually, the 4s through 10s) that on the face side there's usually a white line going through one of the pips.
Here's an example:
The cards sold for home use have predominantly solid colored backs w/design, making it hard to locate the marking from that perspective.
However, the WSOP Copag cards have predominantly
white backs (similar to how last year's cards looked), which would and should make the markings much easier to spot.
Really, there's a reason the Copags sell for cheap in retail - they're [censored].

exactly true. i have had the same problems with Copags. you get what you pay for. add this to the many other reasons why Harrahs is considered a second rate casino company.
