I heard this week that one of the new anti-terrorism bills that was just passed by Congress and is sure to get the President's signature includes provisions that prohibit certain electronic transactions between banks and online casinos. It doesn't make playing online poker a crime, but somehow it makes certain kinds of rewards very difficult to distribute. Phil Gordon was saying that it will almost certainly cause a drastic reduction in the number of entries into next year's WSOP. Online poker sites will no longer be able to give out a "free" seat. He said the days of $10 million prize pools are gone.
