WSOP Issues Major Rule Change to Electronic Device Use For Paradise Series

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Sandra Barbour

The World Series of Poker (WSOP) Paradise series is underway, and poker players attending should be aware of a rule change that will impact the use of electronic devices at the table.

Jonathan Tamayo won the WSOP Main Event for $10 million this past summer in Las Vegas. Controversy surrounded the victory after poker fans noticed his rail, which included poker pros Joe McKeehen and Dominik Nitsche, had a laptop open with apparent real-time assistance (RTA) software visible.

Tamayo would occasionally converse with his rail during the final table, and that led some to question if he had an unfair advantage. But no one has presented any evidence to prove he broke any rules or won the tournament because of an edge gained from his rail. Still, the WSOP did not have a rule in place to prevent potential controversies such as this from arising. They do now, however.

There are a few other additional new rules for the series, including banning electronic devices at the table altogether when a tournament is down to three tables. Players are also not permitted to place their cell phones or any electronic devices on the table or table rail during play.

Caesars Entertainment has finalized the $500 million sale of the biggest brand in poker to GGPoker's parent company, according to an announcement in late October.

Back in August, Caesars Entertainment shocked the poker world when it announced that it would be selling World Series of Poker (WSOP) to NSUS Group Inc, a leading investment group and operator GGPoker. The deal was solidified Tuesday and includes a $250 million cash transaction and a $250 million promissory note due in five years.

Though the WSOP sale marks a shakeup in the industry, poker players can still expect the summer WSOP to be held in Las Vegas for the next 20 years. Additionally, poker rooms at Caesars properties will continue to feature WSOP branding.

Level 17 : 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Action folded to Weiran Pu who moved all in for 935,000 in the small blind. Daniel Negreanu was in the big blind and asked for a count before calling.

Weiran Pu: A♥J♠ All in
Daniel Negreanu: Q♠9♠

"Alright, I have two live cards," Negreanu said as the flop came 10♥7♥3♠. The turn was the 6♠ and Negreanu picked up flush and straight draws.

"Five, eight, queen, nine, or spade," Negreanu said, but the river was the anticlimatic 2♦. "Or a deuce. Womp Womp," Negreanu added as he paid off the double up.

Player	Chips	Progress
Daniel Negreanu	4,500,000 -1,295,000	-1,295,000
