I just read this post on Pocket Fives Forum
Could easily be b.s., but I've read Ivey will do that sort of thing.

some dude on 2+2 said his buddy was at Ivey's table. Said that Ivey told everyone that he will give them each $5k and if he wins ME he will ship them each $50k.

Hundreds Turned Away from the World Series of Poker Main Event
Players Left Stunned, Angry
“Right now, I’m in shock. It’s way beyond disappointment.”
Those words come from Mickey Appleman, a longtime veteran of the World Series of Poker who doesn’t believe he has missed a main event since he first started playing the tournaments 30 years ago. That streak ended today when Harrah’s closed off additional entries to Day 1D of the 2009 main event after reaching the day’s capacity.
......
The decision left hundreds of players shocked, confused, and angry. Several well-known players were reportedly unable to register on Day 1D, including Patrik Antonius, T.J. Cloutier, Layne Flack, Ted Forrest, Brandon Adams, Richard “chufty” Ashby, and “Hollywood” Dave Stann.
Huck Seed, the 1996 world champ, almost didn’t get to play the main event. Despite winning the NBC National Heads-Up Championship this year — and thus automatically earning a seat in the 2009 main event — Seed was left on the rail early on in Day 1D. But Jack Effel, WSOP tournament director, said that Seed was eventually seated because “we had to honor that commitment,” mentioning that there was trouble with the wire transfer from Caesars.

Pocket Fives is blowing up with people that were turned away. Apparently Sully Erna was in line behind a few of them and still got in.

pfft Sully Erna gets in and you cant let legends of the game like Cloutier, Flack, Forrest and Antonius get in..

Sully= More famous outside poker world than those.
Amazing how Harrah's bitches about it's financial situation, takes more rake than ever from the players all Series, schedules the day one's around 7/4, knowing that some don't want to be in Vegas for the holiday, and then they turn away between $2 mil and $5 mil in entry fees.
But they are looking out for those tv ratings by putting Sully in.

The Final Number Is... 6,494
As we approach the dinner break, Tournament Director Jack Effel has made the announcement regarding the total number of entrants for the 2009 World Series of Poker Main Event -- 6,494 players.
That means a prize pool of more than $61 million, with the top 648 places being paid. According to Effel, first prize nets a cool $8,548,435.

cant wait to read TJ Cloutier's blog about this on poker pages.. Read Jason Young's blog about Jack Effel on there he seems like a douchebag.

I wonder why Annie Duke is not a full tilt pro considering Howard Lederer owns part of it or something and they are siblings?
Posted on 7/6/09 at 11:40 pm to PokerChamp21
oh son of a bitch i was watching the end of the best damn poker show 2 and rangers live just comes on without warning during the middle of it.. frick you FSN.

Annie Duke reps Ultimate Bet. I think she has some management roll there as well. She took a beating on the scandal that happened there within the last couple of years.
Posted on 7/7/09 at 12:05 am to TigerLicks
And yes, she's Lederer's sister
Posted on 7/7/09 at 12:26 am to Acreboy

Posted on 7/7/09 at 12:31 am to Acreboy
