The World Poker Tour Venetian $5,000 Main Event is playing toward its champion, but the event has not gone without some hiccups.
First, a controversy erupted after Jared Jaffee expressed his displeasure with the way the tournament was run in the final stages. His Twitter rant has spurred some discussion over a fine-print rule that saw the final few players battling very short-handed.
Second, a player appeared to be in danger of missing the final table after it was reported he needed an emergency surgery. Luckily, it seemed that didn't transpire and everything eventually went down as it was supposed to, albeit after a short delay.
