This does not look good. Berman's cashing out, and the CEO has been selling like crazy over the past year. I'm sure the show will continue on, since WPT still has cash from its IPO and has contracts with its member casinos, but they clearly don't have their act together.

Show me some profits and maybe I'll think otherwise.

It's funny that article hasn't shown up on Yahoo yet -
Cheers

I heard somewhere that Doyle Brunson was trying to buy them anyway.

Brunson ahould be thrown in jail. His alleged "offer" was nothing more than stock manipulation. I'm sure he and his partners made a pretty penny when WPTE soared and then dove due to his phony offer.

He never made an offer and he doesn't need to try to manipulate the market.

If you read your own links you would see that the offer was not deemed credible. It was much to do about nothing.

Umm, of course it wasn't credible. That's exactly the problem. But Doyle and his reps did put out the "offer". (Was actually more like a press release because it didn't contain nearly enough details). What don't you understand about this situation?
