Wsop Chimp

[equinoxx]

I am listening to a poker radio show and they just mentioend that some crazy people trained up a chimpanzee to play poker to play in the WSOP. Now, I admit, this does sound a little far fetched but this is what they were saying on the show.. They taught the chimp to play poker and got it entered to the WSOP. The people even got the chimpanzee a social security number but there was one thing that prevented it from being entered to the main event and that was the animal couldn't enter the casino as s/he was only four years of age! I kid you not, I am hearing this show on www.sportsbyline.com

Heard about this too, PokerShare.com did it - also heard that the organisers wouldn't let the chimp play, but hadn't seen why that was. lol @ it being because of the chimps age (if true) Take it you're listening to the WSOP broadcasts with CardPlayer.com - been checking them myself, can be quite entertaining and they've been getting some quality guests (eg Ivey, Hellmuth, "The Mouth" etc)
