WSOP Leadership to Remain
The sale of Harrah’s Entertainment - the owner of the World Series of Poker brand - is nearly complete, which begs the question of what will happen to the WSOP. The sale, which is to a couple of private equity firms, rings in the billions, so the firms taking over are certainly counting on the WSOP, along with the rest of the Harrah’s business, to bring in the money. Does this mean they will make big changes in the way the WSOP is going to be run? It does not look like it, as it has been announced that the Chairman and CEO of Harrah’s, Gary Loveman, will be retained, as will WSOP Commissioner Jeffrey Pollack.Related Articles:39th World Series of Poker starts with Championship eventJosh Arieh takes 2nd at WSOP Circuit event…
