So once again Neverwinpoker got the shit end of the stick when it comes to being a credentialed member of the poker media during the WSOP. We don't get a spot on the Amazon room floor to put a laptop, and we can't take any pictures inside the Rio and my endless awesome hours of flip-video will never see Youtube. I spoke to Scotty Nguyen about his monkey that escaped and is either dead or still running around Spanish Trails. I could have video'd him talking about how his baby cougar sleeps on his child's face (quite cute actually) but I'm not allowed. I promise you I can get permission from Bluff and ESPN, but not from Seth Palansky. Seth Palnsky is the WSOP communications director and has been pissed off at me and NWP after last year's denial letter was posted by Druff and the intern that sent it was black cock'd. Of course we took that thread down to spare the messenger in that case, and both Seth and Jeffrey promised me a media credential for 2009. Obviously neither one of them can remember that conversation. Then they slow-rolled Druff in not answering emails so he wouldn't start a shitstorm. It's total bullshit.
When the WSOP credentials a poker site to cover poker they are not sanctioning the content. They are simply admitting that the site in question is indeed part of the poker media. NWP's coverage of the WSOP would be amazing, and would certainly add value to the WSOP brand. Every other major poker site is allowed to cover the WSOP from their angle, except us. Andy Bloch and I were playing at the same table for a few hours and he asked me with a puzzled look on his face why we were denied our credential. To him it just seemed obvious that NWP would get one because to him we are part of the poker media. I ask all well known player that are friendly with Jeffrey Pollack or Seth Palansky to speak to them personally and ask them to reverse their mistake. Even holler @JeffreyPollack on twitter and let him know how you feel. Maybe next year...
