First Poker Player to be Fined for Twitter Usage at WSOP
We here at Gambling911.com thought it would be fun to offer up odds on the first poker player to get in trouble for using Twitter at this year's World Series of Poker (WSOP).
An interesting rule that truly stands out at this year's WSOP is the banning of Twitter usage, yet you'd never know it from reading some of the poker players Twitter pages.
Phil Hellmuth (1/2 odds): "Bad beet!! 8k pot, i limp w Q-Q under the gun, Bill Gazes Big Blind w J-9 off. Flop J-7-4, Bill check, i bet 700, he moved in, i call 9-A!"
Vanessa Rousso (4 to 1 odds): "Blowing off steam in the 1500 HORSE event, strted w 4500...I have 8200..."

Field (even odds)
The use of Twitter has become a popular form of keeping fans in the loop on an interactive basis. Several poker pros - most notably Doyle Brunson, Annie Duke, David Williams and Vanessa Rousso - utilize Twitter almost on a daily basis.
It was not immediately known as to why organizers would halt the use of Twitter at the tables.
