I'm not familiar with how ME tickets work in terms of no-shows and names. If (when) he doesn't show, will they treat it like a player who's late for day 2 and put 10k chips on the table with an Obama marker and blind him out?

Were that not cool enough, it seems that Mr. Sklar stands to make a lot of money if the President does indeed show up to claim his seat. He has $40 with Chris Ferguson at 25,000:1 and another $2 with Phil Gordon at 100,000:1 that the President will play a hand at this year's WSOP. So that's a cool $1.2 million for Mr. Sklar if the President plays a single hand at this year's Main Event. We at PokerNews are thoroughly hoping that Mr. Sklar wins his bets. Marvellous.

10 to 1 him and the Prez are colluding to tak maney .

A very reliable source just told me that Obama will be playing. Allthough he will be disguised.

I sincerely hope he plays and makes it deep, very deep. The more that man is away from Washington playing poker, the less time he has to screw the country up.

Chip dump to him people, please.

If Obama calls you, you better just muck and pray the guys with suits, ear-pieces and GUNS approve of the speed

Very awesome - he won't play, obviously, since the votes he would lose for being in a poker event would probably be worryingly substantial

Though with that said, 25k/1 is probably good.

If Obama would play in the tourney, it would never end because he would take most the chips from the chip leaders and give them to the short stacks!

he would use tax payer money to buy back in all the players who have busted and take a share of them. He wold exert his presidential influence over harrahs to allow these rebuys obv.

better than taking the chips from the average and short stacks and giving them to the chip leaders, like what happened the last 8 years

good point. He'd have to pony up the $10k himself, and there's no way his advisors would allow that to happen (much less allow him to be seen "gambling" over Independance day - as has been stated before).

Unless he was eating an apple pie at the table and watching baseball while playing. Then they could spin it into an American Past Time debate and point out how many past presidents have enjoyed a game of poker from time to time.
