He hasnt really done anything note-worthy post-winning the main event. He has been invited to PSS2 and PSS3 and has performed fairly poorly in both. The only thing he has really done is get to a WPT final table, where he finished second.

I doubt if the Chimp would be able to sit at a poker table for 14 hours a day for a week. The PETA people would go ballistic over this.

Not to mention that the monkey will be filling his little monkey diaper on a regular basis and stinking the table up.

And where is the line drawn? If a monkey can enter it, couldn't any other animal be entered? It's just retarded to even fathom that the WSOP is allowing this. It makes me want to fill my diaper.

It's a charity/publicity thing to bring awareness to something or another, (clearly it's working). I doubt it was just a "Here's my monkey's 10,000, he'd like to play" situation. Heck, the registration may be in the monkey trainer's name, who will be the person considered to be playing.

There are so many other possibilities, why assume the worst?

If the monkey takes a bad beat does he start flinging his poo at everyone?

I would absolutely love to see the monkey draw out on Phil Hellmuth. It might be the funniest blow up in the history of televised poker.

Unfortunately, I think Hellmuth is already out (just the one bracelet this year then, tsk)

Yea, no way he can play, but I would love to see him get pissed off and start going crazy at the table; jumping around and throwing chips everywhere. Would be a disaster.

I don't think Harrah's let this go down honestly. If they would've, you would've been seeing a ton of coverage on this publicity stunt on CardPlayer. And I saw nothing.
