They screwed up. But its their money. It might be partly derived from tournament juice but they certainly have no absolute obligation to return any of it to the players in the form of this freeroll. And yes it is a freeroll.

Plus, even if this blunder by Harrahs is bad for the players of this years' TOC, landing this big of a sponsorship deal from Pepsi seems great for the game of poker.

It's not no stinking freeroll(exept for johnny doyle and phill), it's part of the prize you won in a previous tournamount. People who believe it's a freeroll probably believe in the buy one get one free means that you really are getting one free. Harrah's lying to people, I for one am not surprised.
