While this would seem to be a logical explanation it's not correct. The OE players were getting pretty much the same promotional funds deal from CET: rakeback, high hand promos, etc.
There were a number of reasons for the players wanting to move, including CET's cutbacks on what it is giving poker players, but reason #1 was the perception that the Harrah's dealers were giving poor service to the game. The key players wanted to move the game to Borgata but were turned away by Borg (Borg offered to spread the game only Mon-Wed because they didn't want to cannabilize the 10/20 O8 game that runs Thur-Sun), so the game moved to Taj.
