Negreanu gives nod<\/h2>\n

GGPoker ambassador Daniel Negreanu has hailed the World Series of Poker (WSOP) for introducing a key player-assist rule change ahead of the 56th running of the tournament in Las Vegas.<\/p>\n

VegasSlotsOnline<\/em>\u2019s David Lappin recently dubbed the change the \u2018Tamayo Rule.\u2019\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

Poker Hall of Fame member Negreanu stated Monday that the WSOP \u201cdid an excellent job\u201d addressing the controversial ending to last year\u2019s WSOP.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Jonathan Tamayo controversially won last year\u2019s WSOP Main Event<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Texan pro poker star Jonathan Tamayo controversially won last year\u2019s WSOP Main Event after going to the rail to consult with his associates.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Clean slate\u00a0<\/h2>\n

Controversy eclipsed Tamayo\u2019s Main Event win at WSOP 2024 after the Texan went to the rail to consult with associates when he was not in a hand throughout the final table.<\/p>\n

When the WSOP kicks off at Horseshoe Las Vegas and Paris Las Vegas on Tuesday however, the new Rule 116 will be in effect.\u00a0It bans players from using \u201creal-time electronic assistance tools and receiving coaching during tournament action,\u201d according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Tamayo triumphed in last year\u2019s No-limit Hold\u2019em World Championship to win the $10m first prize. Two people on Tamayo\u2019s bench in the 2024 finale included former Main Event champ Joe McKeehen and multiple WSOP trophy winner Dominik Nitsche.<\/p>\n

Caesars Entertainment\u2019s Senior Vice President of WSOP Jack Effel stated organizers completed a re-evaluation of the tournament, deciding: \u201cmaybe these tools aren\u2019t so good, maybe they\u2019re not so safe in these environments.\u201d<\/p>\n

Effel stated: \u201cWe wanted to add some tighter protective measures to ensure that players couldn\u2019t easily access that information during the events to give them an advantage over another player.\u201d<\/p>\n

Pure play<\/h2>\n

Effel added poker wants the WSOP event \u201cto be pure.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s like taking a test,\u201d Eiffel stated. \u201cYou can\u2019t have your notes.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2018Tamayo\u2019s Rule\u2019 states that: \u201cParticipants and spectators are not allowed to use charts, apps, artificial intelligence or any other form of electronic assistance in the tournament room that could give a Participant an advantage over another Participant.\u201d<\/div>\n
