Somebody posted in the WPT forum (I think) that they were watching the final-table standing next to a Stars rep and asked him, "He didn't qualify on your site too, did he?"
and the Stars rep supposedly kind of hung his head and said, "No...I sure wish he had though."

Stars had 1 out of every 5 WSOP main-event players qualify through them so they certainly had reason to be excited about their chances of a 3-peat.


Obviously after Hachem won it Stars must have decided, "well...he at least has an account on our site. We're going to go after him and pay him whatever the hell he wants to be with us. We HAVE to get him in those photos with Moneymaker and Raymer."


I don't blame you for seeing the TV ads and assuming that he qualified just like those guys did though.


Party had 2 guys at the final table (Kanter and Black) and I think Stars only had 1 or 0.
In 2004, Stars had 5 guys at the final-table I believe (including Raymer and Williams as well as Matt Dean..and I forget the other 2).
