This was a HUGE story at the WSOP last week when it broke. It's the reason that Calvin Ayer cancelled the Bodog Marketing Function in Las Vegas.

The hammer is coming down on sites that double as sports betting outfits because those are much easier to go after in the US then the online poker sites (remember the SC said that poker is in a different class then sports betting).
