What is Harrah's Thinking? - Page 3

Its absolutely terrible here so far btw. 1-1.5 hour waits for any satellites, the system they are using is beyond ridiculous. Got tons of dealers at empty tables simply sitting there. Dozens literally, while endless lines of players are waiting.

The lines for the main events seem about 2+ hours long as well, they stretch all the way down a ridiculously long hallway.

I personally know a dozen high limit players that can manage the WSOP better. Hope I see some at the taping today at Mandalay Bay. These people making me sick.

It is pretty standard to not scramble in tournaments. If the cards are mucked correctly there isn't muich security risk to this.

Harrah's is just showing the fact that no matter what they do with the WSOP, people will still continue to pay to play in their WSOP tournaments.

The majority of the players aren't like Blair Rodman. 95%+ of the players won't show the initiative to do anything proactive in an attempt to change the WSOP or even complain at all. Why should they? Harrah's has free reign to do as they please. They know that they won't lose anybody. So, why even listen in the first place? Despite all of the horrible changes, event #3 had the largest field ever for non-main event WSOP tournies.

The only way any of this can truly change is for people to speak with their money and refuse to play in the WSOP. Let's be honest, that's not going to happen.

With the way everybody's speaking, it seems as if it's not worth playing in the WSOP. Is this true? Are any players willing to abandon the WSOP for the year? I assure you that if a well-known player such as Daniel Negreanu decided to abandon the WSOP for Harrah's performance issues, it would open up some eyes to the inefficiency of Harrah's Entertainment.

Unfortunately there is absolutely zero chance of this happening. Not only do these guys have to be "seen" at the WSOP for PR/whoring reasons, but also they don't have to put up with half of the [censored] like standing in line for 4 hours.

Interesting to note that Ivey, who was supposedly only playing the $50K and the ME, seems to be playing every event so far.

I saw Negreanu waiting in line the first night I was there (the 31st).

This was before it was a 4 hour line, this was when it was at the cage and was a reasonable wait!

On the diamond line, or the main line?

It was just this cashiers cage, there was no gigantic main line then. I saw lots of recognizable people in it but was only like 20-40 deep at its longest. No way he waits in the absurd 4 hour+ line.
