Media Credential Requirements for 2009 World Series of Poker Europe ®

The following rules constitute the media credential requirements for the 2009 World Series of Poker Europe(the "Event") by Harrah's Operating Company and London Clubs International (LCI)Please read each item carefully.

Strict compliance at all times to each requirement is an express condition precedent to continued use of the media credential.

Granting of media credentials is at the sole discretion of the World Series of Poker Europe and Harrah's. The following criteria will be utilized to help determine eligibility for media credentials:

   1. Applicant must be a full-time journalist.
   2. Work must be for a legitimate news outlet whose primary objective is to disseminate news information to the public.
   3. All work must use a byline.
   4. Applicant must provide news editor or producer contact information.
   5. Submission of representative past work, including both feature and news reporting is a requirement.

Any unauthorized use of credentials may subject the bearer to immediate ejection from the The Empire Casino and prosecution for criminal trespass.  It may also subject the accredited organization to revocation of its credentials for future World Series of Poker Europeevents.

Media credentials are non-transferable and must be worn at all times when on-site at the Empire.

Credentialed media may provide content only to the outlet listed on their credential.  It is a violation of use and grounds for revocation if a credential-holder provides content to an outlet (website, magazine, blog, newspaper, radio station, television station, etc.) that is not listed on holder's credential.

Media credentials are required to gain access to the WSOP Media Center and admittance will not be permitted without an approved and official event credential.

Possession of a credential and verification of identity allows the bearer to register for the media charity tournament.

 

ELIGIBILITY

1. Applicants must be at least 18 years of age. Government issued photo identification must be presented to receive a credential and must be available upon request from organization staff at any time while bearer is on casino property.  

2. Each accredited media organization shall be limited to three credentials due to the limited capacity of the event. It is the responsibility of the accredited media organization to determine in advance of the event which representatives for whom it plans to submit applications.

3. Freelance journalists requesting media credentials must provide either: (a) an original letter of assignment, on letterhead, from an editor at an approved media outlet or (b) an email letter of assignment from an editor that originates from an approved outlet's formal domain.

4. Authors requesting media credentials must provide a comprehensive treatment of the book being researched, in addition to a letter of intent to publish, supplied on letterhead, from a representative of an approved publishing house.

5. Documentary filmmakers and representatives of independent video production companies will not be eligible for media credentials.  A separate licensing agreement will be required for access to the tournament, which may or may not be granted at Harrah's sole discretion.

6. Journalists without a specific assignment from an accredited media outlet will not be eligible for media credentials.

 

PHOTOGRAPHY

7. Credentialed photographers can use images only for editorial purposes and may provide photos only to the accredited organization listed on their approved credential application form. Any other use is strictly prohibited.

8.  Photos posted on websites may be archived for 72 hours only from the specific event date.  Following 72 hours, photos are deemed to no longer be for standard news usage and must be removed.

9.  Flash photography is strictly prohibited inside the tournament room.

10. Once any tournament event gets overcrowded due to space constraints, photographer access inside the ropes will be restricted. (Photographs may be taken from outside the ropes.) Photo requests may be made at any time to any ImageMasters staff member, the official photographer of the 2009 WSOP. Photographers are allowed at the final table only after the winner has completed contractual interviews and promotional obligations.

11. Credentials do not authorize photography outside the tournament area; accredited organizations are prohibited from capturing images of the Empire Casino without prior consent of a member of property staff.

12. Representatives of photo collection and merchandising houses are not eligible for media credentials.

 

VIDEO

13. Under no circumstances can video from anywhere in the Empire Casino including the tournament area or casino appear on any website.  The tournament area is anywhere tournament action is taking place or players are gathered.

14. All organizations are prohibited from disseminating or streaming video footage of the event.

15.  No video cameras are permitted inside the tournament room without an escort from a member of the Harrah's media-relations team or Betfair PR representative. Filming of hand-by-hand play is prohibited.

16. Video interviews shall be conducted inside the tournament room only with an escort from a member of the Harrah's media-relations team or Betfair PR representative.

17.  Television stations can record (but cannot go live with) a maximum of five minutes of non-table play video footage from inside the tournament room on a single day and include up to two minutes of footage in a regularly scheduled newscast.  If the regularly scheduled newscast also streams live on the TV affiliate's website that is permissible as long as it is the exact stream of the live television signal.  Archiving, storing or streaming video on a website outside of a live newscast is strictly prohibited.

 

TOURNAMENT ACCESS

18. Credentialed media may not in any way distract players during tournament action.  This act is subject to immediate ejection.

19. Once any tournament event gets overcrowded due to space constraints, media access inside the ropes will be restricted.   All media will be escorted outside the ropes and then tournament staff will rotate media in and out according to demand and capacity limits.  Media must be escorted by event staff to be inside the ropes and failure to comply with staff requests will result in forfeiture of access.  

20. Accredited media organizations can file a maximum of one online update per hour per event, provided the web site covers each event on a separate page of the web site.  This includes posting of chip counts.  An event is defined as any of the individual poker games that make up the WSOPE.

21. Live Updates:  No continuous live updates in the form of text messaging, podcasts, blogging or live remote audio or video feeds are permitted.  Updates in these formats may be filed once an hour and may only include information preceding the update, not any action or event occurring while the update is in progress.

22. The WSOPE will release official chip counts for each event at the end of the day's play and those chip counts may be used in their entirety at that time or later.  While an event is in progress, media organizations can only post Top 10 chip counts once per hour.  Media organizations can post the entire order of the players only once the event has been completed and/or at the end of each day after the WSOPE releases official results/updates.

Definition:  Once an hour.  Once an hour is determined from the start time of any event.  If an event begins at 12 noon GMT, the first update cannot be posted before 1:00 PM GMT, and each subsequent update must follow an hour after the last update.

Members of the media with a credential are forbidden from using, carrying or setting up electronic equipment such as computers, Blackberrys, Personal Digital Assistants, cellular telephones or transmitters of any kind inside the tournament area. (This includes any device used in conjunction with live radio remotes).  These devices may be utilized in the Media Center or Press Box throughout the duration of the tournament.

 

SELF PROMOTION

24. Credentialed media displaying or otherwise promoting any product or service on the grounds of the The Empire Casino will be deemed to be non-working media and have their credentials revoked.

25. Credentialed media are permitted to wear as part of their clothing one standard logo of their organization that is no larger than four inches vertical or horizontal and commonly accepted as normal dress attire.  Provided however, Harrah's reserves the right to prohibit the display of any logo(s) that are considered distasteful or otherwise deemed inappropriate by Harrah's, in its sole and absolute discretion or that violate the Business and Registration Policy. http://www.worldseriesofpoker.com/pdfs/Businessregrules2008.pdf

 

TRADEMARKS

28. The accredited media organization and the bearer assume all risk incident to the performance by the bearer of his or her services; assume all risk incident to attending World Series of Poker Europe events; agree that they are not acting for Harrah's in any manner and are not employees or agents of those organizations; and agree to release, indemnify, defend and hold harmless Harrah's, each of their parents, subsidiaries and affiliates, and each of their respective agents and employees from and against all liability, loss, damage or expense resulting from or arising out of the issuance and use of this credential or the Bearer's presence at the Event.

 

ENFORCEMENT

29. Any media credential holder who is deemed disorderly, who fails to comply with any of the foregoing terms, or any set forth by tournament officials, and all security measures, may be subject to immediate ejection from the property and prosecution, and may subject the accredited organization to revocation of its credentials for future World Series of Poker Europe events.  

30.

2009 WSOPE Event 1: £1,000 No-limit Hold'em


The first event of the 2009 World Series of Poker Europe is completed and we have crowned the first champion. He ended Day 1 as the chipleader and finished the tournament in the same vein, step forward Mr JP Kelly.


The £1,000 entry-fee appealed to pros and amateurs alike, with Day 1a attracting 295 runners including the likes of Phil Hellmuth, Roland de Wolfe and Dave 'Devilfish' Ulliot with the former being eliminated very early on into proceedings.


After raising preflop, then calling a re-raise from Eddie Hearn, Hellmuth somehow managed to get all his chips in the middle holding 5h6h which gave him an open-ended straight draw. He definitely needed to hit as Hearn held pocket kings, but a turn followed by a river saw 'The Poker Brat' heading for the rail.


The action was thick and fast due to the shallow starting stacks and hour long blinds and by the end of play only 41 players still had chips remaining!


Day 1b showed no signs of slowing down either, despite it been a more pro-heavy day with Phil Ivey, Chris 'Jesus' Ferguson, Annette Obrestad and 2008 WSOPE Main Event winner John Juanda taking to the tables. Out of the 313 that started, only 58 would return for Day 2.


JP Kelly was the overnight chipleader with 99,000 chips but Richard Kellet, Ian Frazer and Fabian Dunlop were all hot on his heels with stacks around the 65,000 mark. Of the 89 remaining players, only 63 would make the money, meaning 26 unlucky players would be going home empty handed.


Robert Lim was the unlucky “bubble-boy”, after being eliminated by Raymond Rahme in 64th position. Rahme raised 'Under The Gun', a raise which Lim called on the button for almost one third of his stack. On a flop reading 6c9h7h Rahme open-shoved only to see Lim instantly call. Rahme showed a pair of nines for top set and was way in front of Lim's pocket aces. No help arrived on the turn or river and Lim walked away with nothing but memories whilst the rest of the 63 players would be guaranteed £2,006.


One by one the players fell by the wayside and with each elimination the dream of a WSOP bracelet came closer to reality. Eventually the 89 players who started has been whittled down to just 10 and they all gathered for the unofficial final table to play ten-handed until the final table bubble burst.


That honour went to the extremely vocal Ganesh Bathmanathan who saw his push from the hijack with As7h called by Richard Allen's AcKd. The board changed nothing and our final table was set, with Fabian Dunlop leading the way with 538,000 chips.


The remaining nine players returned to The Empire the following day but James Tomlin was soon leaving again after pushing his short-stack in the middle with Ac7s only to see William Martin re-shove and Thor Drexel call! Tomlin was in bad shape as both his opponents held Big Slick and when the board ran out JcKc4c4d8s, Tomlin was eliminated with £13,115 for his efforts.


Drexler was next to go when his queens lost a race with Adnan Alshamah's Ace-king and he was quickly joined on the rail by William Martin who's AsJs could not outrun Fabian Dunlop's pocket sevens. 


Dunlop then took his stack to 985,000 when his kings triumphed over Neil Suarez's pair of fours but JP Kelly was trying his best to keep up with him when he eliminated Anthony Roux with a kings versus tens situation, all-in preflop. Play went from four-handed to heads-up in a remarkably short space of time, first Richard Allen's Ace-four came up short against Kelly's pocket nines and then Dunlop's Ah8h turned an ace to beat Alshamah's KhQs which had flopped a king.


JP Kelly started the heads-up battle with a 498,000 to 1,365,000 chip defecit but this was soon wiped out when both players were all-in preflop, Kelly holding AcTc against Dunlop's Ad5d. A flop of Td8sJd brought something for both players but the and fell to ship the pot to Kelly.


After cracking Kelly's slowplayed aces, Dunlop then lost a huge pot when he and Kelly were all-in, both chasing diamond flush-draws, which hit on the turn but Kelly's king-high flush was much better than Dunlop's Jack-high version. This left Dunlop with just 19,000 chips, slightly over one big blind.


Obviously Dunlop was all in blind for the next couple of hands, winning them both but his luck soon ran out when his 4h9h was against Kelly's QdJh on a board reading QhQcTc6sKs. Trip Queens more than enough to beat the nine-high of Dunlop and Britain had it's first-ever WSOPE bracelet winner in JP Kelly.

This was Kelly's second bracelet after he won a $1,500 Pot-limit Hold'em Event in Las Vegas earlier in the year. The £136,803 first prize here was enough to take his career winnings to over the $800,000 mark.
