The fact that you continually shill for Fertitta's group (which is who is likely behind that website since, unlike other such sites, the Houston page seeks anonymity) says you apparently are NOT a poker player. Instead, you have your nose so far up their ass that the keys on the keyboard have not even returned to room temperature after they post an update.
I have no dog in this fight or drama/spat between you all. I was just looking at the tournament event, not any equity-raising or inter-business undercutting ....
I've just seen this "don't worry, it's legal" movie before in other jurisdictions, i.e PokerStars in Monterrey. I've thought the claim of legality was suspect from the go, as it seemed carefully worded to not actually say anything verifiiable, but look like an assurance nevertheless.
Time will tell soon enough, either this WPT event will go off without a hitch or it won't.
