During the opening announcement WSOP Commissioner made an announcement that those who own a certain piece of jewelry were no doubt happy to hear--every player who has won a bracelet since 1974 is automatically entered in Harrah's Diamond Club for all of Harrah's properties. A little extra incentive for the bracelet-less playing in today's event.
