To the best of my recollection, there is no camera system in the ball room where the event was to be held. At least I never remember seeing a surveillance system when MSPT is there.

MSPT doesn't have tournament overlap. I am a local ans weeks ago dealers were talking about wsop telling the venue that it had spacial concerns.

There were, I saw them hanging from the ceiling. However, they may not have the detail and coverage required by WSOP. They weren't as numerous as they were on the gaming floors.

Good, should have been fired just for wasting promo money on that stupid ass 5am cracked aces promotion. Nothing more infuriating than watching your $1 promo drop on each pot go to those ****en retired nits who like to play 3/6LHE at 6 in the morning.

Well we have this now...

On-off-maybe so who the hell knows.

Wow, won't even let you keep the rate you booked...why am I not surprised...
I can remember when they wouldn't even let you charge your phone...said it was due to electric costs...

Last Night the dealers were saying they were being told the official announcement would be Monday, just as the tweet says, but did say not to cancel any plans yet...

I'm also a regular at Poto. I drive from chicago because the 'Shoe is the nut low these days.


For a poker room that just updated it's tables (ive seen them get re-felted twice in a year) and adding bravo, i can still believe this is what's happening.

I called yesterday and was told to call back on monday. the guy seemed like he was annoyed. he probably was.

i guess lets hope? (i'm not)

also, this.

But i did see a guy crack aces twice in one hour at my table.

Anyone seen any update to this? So far twitter is silent on any update since yesterday.

A friend who lives there said the poker room says a final decision will be made Tuesday.

The same friend just got an email from the casino that the tourney is back on.

They just tweeted it's back on:

"IT'S ON! The @WSOP circuit event is at @paysbig, Feb 2-13! #poker"

They should just announce an hour before the first flight on Thursday. **** it.

That's the email.

All involved should be embarrassed. No way to run an organization.

Just keep in mind when you cash that the dealers had nothing to do with this **** show.

is this a new wsop stop? how nice of a poker room do they have?

First time in Milwaukee. The Poker room is just as nice if not nicer than any in the Midwest. ~20 tables

Yes it's new. Poker room has 20 tables and mediocre to below average for a room of that size. WiFi is hotel based and reaches some parts of casino but not poker room, no USB chargers at tables.

Bravo is newly installed and they are getting rid of chip runners. Unfortunately floor isn't looking up at the monitors to see that table 13 requested chips 15 minutes ago. And for some reason dealers don't seem like they can ask if they've pressed the button. Open seats with people waiting don't get filled nearly as fast as they should. Floor will call off 2 names then get distracted and not go back to calling off the list. Basically I've seen 5 workers at Venetian handle 55 tables during colossus past 2 years way better than I see 5 floor here handle 17 tables on a Friday or Saturday.

Cash games are loooooooose.

Not only did I get the email shown above, but they called me as well, since I had a reservation with WSOP discount and then cancelled.

Trying to decide whether or not to rebook flight, hotel, etc... I'd like to play there, and I suspect the WSOP crew will run the tourneys in the ballroom better than the Pot crew in the poker room.

I know its not the tipping containment thread, but $365 circuits are $300+$45 vig+$20 for the dealers. $20/$345 is almost 6%, which is very fair already.

Please do tip the dealers generously when you drag those big pots in 2 5 NL and PLO though.

Being a local, I'm happy that it is back on, but doesn't cancelling and then reinstating it do more damage? I mean if I was a grinder who traveled and now I canceled my flights and hotels and then was told it was back on, I would be even more furious then I was about the original cancel. I really expect the numbers to be down, because of this stunt.
