Harrahs vs. Hellmuth
In an interesting controversy, it seems Phil Hellmuth believes that Harrahs may open or buy an online poker room. Then, at next years WSOP, it would not allow sponsorships of any other poker rooms (players couldn’t wear pokerstars.net gear) in an effort to only promote the Harrah’s card room.
Phil Hellmuth has stated that he thinks that this would ruin the WSOP. In protest, other online poker sites would set up a rival to the WSOP. All of the famous pros, who are sponsored by the online poker rooms, would play in this other event, since their sponsors wouldn’t allow them to play in the WSOP (Full Tilt/Stars owns their souls). He thinks Harrahs risks ruining the WSOP in a vein attempt to promote some makeshift online poker site more.
