BINION'S BARS CRICTIC

The author of the story in the Review/Journal reporting on the criticism of Becky Binions decision to withhold 3% of the buy ins for Binions employees in addition to dealers and those directly involved in the WSOP was himself "arrested" by Binion's goons, labeled a trespasser and evicted. Here's his story:

On Thursday April 19th at approximately midnight, I was permanently
> barred from Binion's. I was given no reason or explanation, but there
> isn't much doubt that it was due to my comments quoted in the Las Vegas
> Review-Journal on the same day.

> I was removed from a 5-10 pot limit omaha game by an anonymous member of
> the staff and his henchman. They hustled me into an office containing a
> dozen burly men, where they snapped my photo and read me a prepared
> statement to the effect that my presence at the Horseshoe would now be
> considered criminal trespass. I was then allowed to leave.
>
> I wanted to post this now because the news is getting around fairly
> quickly, but I have not had time to prepare the commentary that should
> accompany such an event. So this is "information only." I will share
> my opinions on the matter in due time.
