This isn't a very good description...

Otherwise, nice timeline.

And this isn't very helpful or constructive.

If you're going to criticize the description, at least offer your own version so everyone knows the "correct way" in which they should refer to this date.

Some people have theorized that DOJ arrests in recent online gaming cases were timed with major sport events, such as the Superbowl and March Madness. So there's the possibility that the DOJ may make more arrests during the WSOP to help spread their morally evangelistic anti-poker message. They would love to hear Lon McEachern do a segment about "recent arrests" during WSOP broadcasts.

Personally, I don't think this is very likely. The DOJ seems to be concentrating more on sportsbooks, not poker.

But I wouldn't entirely rule out the possibility that the DOJ would go so far as to arrest a named player on the floor of the WSOP.

I also think there is a very small chance the DOJ could try to seize third party registrations from online poker sites. Especially if the registrant is from the United States.
