Many players have apparently boycotted playing in WPT events due to a release form that basically say they can do anything with their image, putting it in video games, advertisements, etc., which many players worry will breach contracts or something that they have with pre-existing endorsement deals. If anyone has more info on this, please share what you know, it seems like an interesting ordeal.

Check the poker room at ESPN.com, they ran several articles on the subject a month or so ago.

Also, go check out Andy Bloch's site. You can link to it from FullTilt. As a lawyer he explains some of the problems..
