PokerStarsBlog also noted that one of their qualifiers couldn't come and play because their kid was very sick.

i thought 1 would be funny, but that's hilarious. i wonder if they got a refund.

Don't you have to state that you meet the age requirement when you sign on all the sites?

The age requirement is only 18 on Partypoker. My friend won a WSOP seat on PP last year when he was 20 (he didn't read the fineprint saying you had to be 21 to play in that tournament) and they didn't give him anything.

I dont get why you would play a WSOP qualifier and then attempt to go to the casino, how dumb can you be?

I hope those 10 are just people who thought they could get cash instead of a ticket online and not people who went to las vages and go to a tourny being under 21

[Spook]

perhaps they are foreign and local laws allow them to gamble at 18/19.

MN you only have to be 18 to play poker here -

accidents happen - you'd THINK it was 18 everywhere - first time I ever saw MN give permission to do something you can't do in Vegas - LOL
