Harrah's (Partially) Un-Bars Richard Brodie

Harrah's management has relaxed its ban of Richard "Quiet Lion" Brodie from Harrah's properties, and Brodie can play in the World Series of Poker:

Thanks to the quiet diplomacy of WSOP commissioner Jeffrey Pollack and to many of my fellow poker players vouching for my character, Harrah’s has decided to allow me to play in the remainder of the WSOP and lifted the ban on my entering their properties. I’m still learning the details of why this was handled this way but it’s looking more and more like a big mistake. As usual everyone at Harrah’s was friendly and professional. I will post more details as they become available but I can now eat at the buffet without fear of arrest.
