Effect of Horseshoe's Closing on WSOP (cross-post)

[ML4L]

Hey all,

Does anyone know what's going to happen with this year's WSOP now that the Horseshoe is closed? Will someplace else (i.e. the Bellagio) host it? I'm primarily concerned with the dates (it had been scheduled for May 22-27).

I already posted this under "General" and didn't get a single response...

Thanks in advance.

there are like 10 posts about this. instead of starting a new one, look around.

Summary:

Binion's closed by feds.
Harrah's buys binions.
WSOP will most likely go on as scheduled. Look in Internet, NVG, this forum among others for posts on this.

Most of the discussion is in the "News Views & Gossip" forum, not "Bricks & Mortar".
