WSOP.com Gets Overhaul, New Webmasters
The new World Series site just went live, just in time for the November Nine … check it out at either WSOP.com or WorldSeriesofPoker.com.
For the past couple years, Bluff has been running the WSOP website — they actually paid them for the privilege. But now Harrah’s has said we don’t want your stinkin’ money! what, you can’t keep paying us? Fine then, we’ll run it ourselves … and the keys to the WSOP internet machinery (now a division of Harrah’s Interactive Entertainment) have since been handed over.

They’ve done a pretty good job of overhauling the site.

Yeah, I agree. not bad for a bunch of newbies/suits.

What I don’t understand is why they would put a picture of the November Nine on the front page of their site, minus one player.

Ooh, that’s awesome! I didn’t notice that. My guess … Shulman didn’t show up?

Try again.

Well they obviously didn’t tell him not to pose. Consciously snubbed with a non-invitation?

The picture I’m referring to is the first in the series of five pictures. If you hover your mouse over it, hopefully one would be able to determine who’s missing. I assume this picture was taken the day after the Nov. 9 was established.

Right, I see what you’re saying … “Who Will Win?” only has 8 people in it. But obviously they didn’t just cut him out. What do you think happened?

Like ESPN (he was only on Day 8 coverage), they forgot about him?
Hatred of the French?
The mind boggles.

Ooh ooh ooh! I thought it was Shulman missing, not Saout!
My guess then is he had a flight to catch, or maybe something got lost in translation.

Shulman is a jerkoff anyway. I hope he loses. He is just out there whining because his joke of a magazine couldn’t compete with the real money. I am sure Shulman looks down on 2/4 or 4/8 limit players in the poker rooms but in the landscape of poker, Card Player is like the 1/2LHE game at the Bike.
