Default Re: PPT Fraud- *Paging Greg Raymer*

You are correct I believe in your analysis. The semantics will vary based on venue.

However as to the disclaimer, and WPT covering their own ass....I would not say this is the case. Certainly based on my dealings it is not. The decision not to run these tournaments was willful and calculated when they couldn't find a sponsor.

I think the WPT made a bluff with the PPT they regret, and they feel the risk of a lawsuit is cheaper than holding their honor.

I believe this case doesn't get far if pressed. It gets to discovery and then game over, WPT folds in a settlement.

I am also sure the WPT had legal disclaimers about the possibility of cancellation of any WPT event, and the WPT not having any responsility in that case for players' travel expenses. I am sorry you lost money on tickets, but I think suing would just cost you more.
