Printing Error a Bad Gamble On Poker Tour –Cagle

Alas, Foley hadn’t ponied up $10,000 to play in the Main Event; he stopped in to watch some of the live play. “It was awesome. All you can hear are poker chips shuffling,” he wrote.

Had Foley attended the WSOP a few weeks earlier, he would have had a front row seat for a bit of a controversy that involved, believe it or not, a printing error. It seems printing errors were being spotted by WSOP players, allowing them to identify low spade cards that were lying face down. The TV lights used by sports network ESPN illuminated the problem.
