The above appeared for a short time on wsop.com, and quickly vanished when people questioned what it was about.

It has not been confirmed, but Kevmath acknowledged that it's not a hoax, and that it was actually on wsop.com for a little time.

These are mostly smallish events, with the biggest being the so-called "High Roller" on July 14. Only one other event (a $1500 NL with no rebuys on July 13) is over $1000. Most evens range between $400-$777.

You have to be physically present in Nevada, New Jersey, or Delaware to play.

A real bracelet will be awarded for winning these, which is really stupid. It's especially dumb because, unlike other online bracelet events where many people are already in town for WSOP, this will mostly be a battle of locals living in those three states. They shouldn't hand out a bracelet for this crap.

It's also very NL Holdem heavy, which also flies in the face of what the WSOP is all about. Of the 31 events, 27 are NL Holdem, 3 are PLO, and one is Omaha 8 or Better.

One big problem at wsop.com right now is the lack of visible leadership. Danielle Barille seems to be running the show, but from what I can see, she's very shy and doesn't want to be the public face of site management. Nobody else has stepped forward to take that role since Bill Rini left. This has left players wondering who's really in charge, and they don't have anyone to consult when it comes to site plans or management.
