‘I’m tilted’ – Tom Dwan talks after his entry voided in WSOP $10K PLO
Tom Dwan is the latest pro to weigh in on late registration issues at the WSOP after getting his stack voided in event #66, the $10K PLO.
Dwan turned to X to find out what time he could max late reg for the tournament.
He got the answer (he got several, to be fair, and not all of them entirely accurate) but turned up at the media room close to the deadline looking for where to register.
By the time he registered and got back to the Horseshoe, he was past the hard stop and his entry was voided.
In an interview with PokerOrg he spoke of his frustration and disagreed with the pros who had called for change. He said it’s why a lot of big games are going private.

Pros called for change
Late registration issues have been a hot topic since the beginning of this year’s World Series of Poker.
Early in the season, players were allowed to take their seats well into the level following late registration closing. Some players spoke up, imploring the WSOP to make a change to prevent that from happening.
Patrick Leonard and Chris Brewer were the primary two who ignited the conversation on X.
Every minute that passed by as the clock was running and other players were playing was an advantage for those who were registering at the last minute.
Isaac Haxton, another respected name in the scene, spoke up in agreement.
“It’s a pretty serious game integrity issue and so easy to solve. Just always close reg on a break and seat all players before resuming. Whatever scheduling has to be adjusted to make this happen is so clearly worth it.”
The WSOP listened to these concerns and quickly made a change.
WSOP makes a change
The WSOP’s new rule means players must at least be in line to take their seat when late registration is over or else they will not be allowed to play and will have their buy-in refunded.
And many pros are still insistent that the rule is important.
