They can't play in them, even if they wanted to.

why not? whats this about?

I'm not sure. I think WPT insists they get the rights to use images, etc. of the pros to endorse anything they want. Since Lederer, Ferguson are FullTilt, their contracts would prohibit this.

If you are saying Full Tilt Pros are not allowed to play in WPT's you are most definitely wrong.

Chris Ferguson empahtically stated he couldn't in this interview: http://media.cardplayer.com/audio/t/the_circuit_119.mp3

It's an old interview I think. 42 minutes in.
