Summer was below. People were being seeking ahead to the 2021 WSOP. Factors were likely nicely for Las Vegas as they recovered from the pandemic. And then, we heard of this new “Delta” variant. And then, things weren’t so very well.

Amid the return of mandatory face masks in Sin Town, the principles for the future Globe Sequence of Poker had been unveiled this week. And if the thought of taking part in in a city deemed a Coronavirus incredibly hot location does not hassle you, the principles for the tourney just could.

The new procedures for the 2021 WSOP find that a player can be disqualified from the tourney for screening beneficial for Covid. And whilst that could be understood (but nonetheless a bummer) it’s the subsequent component of that rule that has players scratching their heads: Gamers will be eliminated if they are in proximity to any participant who exams favourable!

If you want to pour some salt on that wound then test to wrap your head all-around the actuality that the tournament procedures also point out that if you exam positive (or are sitting down subsequent to a participant who does exam favourable) you will not get your invest in in returned to you. Event rules now let them to boot you from the level of competition “without compensation”.

The only modest (and we suggest tiny) constructive part to all of this is that if a player is kicked out right after the bubble then they will be awarded the money prize, just as if they had been knocked out by a further player. Continue to, what a lousy way to go.

It is unclear how these new policies will have an impact on the quantity of players prepared to choose a possibility in these gatherings. But we believe that it is a harmless wager that quite a few from Europe and close to the environment will consider a go on the 2021 WSOP. In addition to the specifications of worldwide travel, and the danger of contracting Covid in transit, the threat may perhaps not justify the reward.
