Matt, you have competition from a chimpanzee

Pokershare are apparently entering a Chimp into the WSOP main event.

Mods -  I am not sure if I am breaking any forum rules by posting a link site.  Sorry if I am, I will wear a hair shirt as punishment

its no competition for matt. its probably his cousin he plays home games with? cant wait to see if its true

I've said it once (sept 13th towards end of page one http://blondepoker.com/forum/index.php?topic=1763.0) and i'll say it again - first there's a rumour that our dumb cousins can talk and now they are coming up with an even more absurd rumour that they taught one of them to play poker!! Give a set of playing cards to my dumb cousins and they would sit there holding them upside down!! 

My guess would be that its just a publicity stunt for the online site in question to get loads of free advertising by pretending to come up with such a daft idea as a poker playing chimp!!

There is going to be only one primate winning this years WSOP

I am looking forward to see if it is true though
