The Rio is really not handling a ton of things well, I kinda hope Daniel does go to the gaming comission over this and get them straightened out for next year, you know, when I finally win a seat to that damn game.
For the record, I am with Daniel all the way on this one, rediculous move by the Rio.

Absolutely. I can't even imagine what there were thinking with this one.
You can't just MAKE a standard event a shorthanded event! Maybe they should have changed it to Limit or to Stud or something while they were at it. He'll get his money back and still be playing - I'm sure of that. But that doesn't make this goof up any better, and it should be reported to the Gaming Commission. |

And in other news, a memo has surfaced on other poker forums stating that the organizers are planning a change to the ME. After precisely 17 minutes of play, it will be announced that they are changing the format to No Limit Crazy 8s.

And all the decks will be shuffled together, so that dealers are pulling from one gragantuan deck.

Oooh....controversy
ANOTHER memo has been leaked that categorically denies that first memo. This one, instead, goes on to say that, because of the poor organization of this year's events which may have treated some players unfairly, such as scheduling Omaha events side-by-side with limit events (apparently a lot of the same players play both styles), they are going to change the ME from a No Limit event to a LIMIT event. That's right folks, 8,000 people will be playing a $10K buyin LIMIT event. It is anticipated that, due to this change, the ME final table will take place sometime around Sept 17th.
Which memo is right? Guess we'll find out in 11 days. (Unless they wait for Flight A to finish for the day before announcing the change) |

I heard this too.
But when you get to the Final Table, the game of course changes to "Go Fish." Heads Up, I heard they are going to "War." |

When they announce the change TP, can you do us all a favour and jump up and scream and holler really loud and get thrown out like Demitriou? That way you'll at least get your name printed in some places. Of course, it won't be on CardPlayer or PokerWire as they are apparently pawns to the organizers and pulled the reports of the controversy.
