Apparently most casinos won't be checking for any verification, so its basically all maskless unless someone wants to wear it.

I guess we will see for sure when people start reporting.

The Kentucky Derby was largest gathering of people in the USA post-covid.

This just happened a two weeks ago. Twitter blasted attendees for getting drunk and ignoring mask/social distancing rules. If you've ever been to Churchill Downs, despite it being outdoors, social distancing is pretty much impossible.

Two weeks later, KY governor says cases in the area continue to go down.

I hope this is a good sign. I hope we've turned the corner on this.

IMO South Point has the best plexiglass setup. There is basically only plexi between players, and not in front of them. I would not be against that for WSOP, but it restricts table size to 8.

Plexiglass is gone

There’s zero chance WSOP would spend all the $$$ on it and nor should they

No plexi for WSOP, no masks required either.

Churchill was forced to reduce max capacity all week so it wasn’t a normal sized derby. However, there were still a lot of people out there all week.

Are the US likely to open their borders to other countries any time soon?

NEVADA GAMING CONTROL BOARD
"The Board’s agents will not attempt to confirm vaccination status of patrons. Consequently, unless circumstances change, it is not practical for the Board to attempt to enforce a mask mandate tethered to an individual’s vaccination status."

Plexiglass and masks gone at South Point, I believe 9 handed now. Also $2200 Shootout tournament with 100k 1st place and limited to 128 players on June 10th, 11th and 12th.
Tournament is 8 handed and 4 eliminated from each table to advance.

Has the GGPoker bracelet schedule been announced yet (not just the dates)? I can't find it anywhere. If not, does anyone know when it will be? Thanks.

Will they be able to get enough dealers? That seems to be the big impediment to tournaments restarting in some areas.

I wonder if the "by not wearing a mask, you certify.." is part of the tournament rules so there was a credible threat of disqualification if you're caught lying?
