No Music Players at the WSOP tables
 

Just read this at CardPlayer's ME Live Update Log:

No More Music Players

Tournament Director Johnny Grooms is reminding the players that music players, cell phones, and similar items are not allowed to be used at the tables. This is a policy that has been in place throughout this year's World Series of Poker.

In the earlier Circuit tournaments, they didn't allow any electronic devices at all during the tournaments

then why did everyone have headphones on?

Re: No Music Players at the WSOP tables
 

At the Circuit events, they were banned from the beginning in the 10k event. For WSOP events, they were banned after players made the money.

As much as I like poker, a 12-14 hour day without music would be brutal. That just sucks.

Guess I am addicted to watching tv and/or listening to music while playing poker.

Last week I saw many players in other WSOP events wearing headphones at the tables. But maybe they weren't being "used".

as the poster before you said, they are allowed to be used until you are in the money.

You can't smoke, you can't wear what you want, you can't listen to music and you can't drop an f-bomb.

Move the [censored] thing to Disneyland and be done with it already.

What on earth does being in the money have to do with anything? I never thought I'd say this, but they finally came up with a rule that's even more ridiculous than the f-bomb one.

Re: No Music Players at the WSOP tables
 

What is the f-bomb rule? What are the penalties imposed for saying f**k?!? This is absurd...tell 'em all to f**k off!

Re: No Music Players at the WSOP tables
 

in the main-event I believe it was until you made the money.

Two or three players on my table during day 1a had headphones and nobody said anything.
Johnny chan was one of the players who used headphones for part of the day...but not for very long.

I saw a guy watching "The Color of Money" on a mini DVD player, I thought that was pretty funny.

I have a picture of this which I'll have up shortly. The tourney staff thought that was pretty amusing too.

I know this is horrible, but ... I think I'd enjoy the WSOP at DisneyLand.

But think of the winner. "I'm going to ..."

What does he say?
