A Chimp And No Chair - WSOP Says No Mikey - 07-27-06

We have it on good authority that Harrahs will not let Mikey sit down at the Main Event, although he prefers jumping up and down and scratching himself anyway.

It smacks of discrimination to us and maybe PETA or the ACLU will step in to let this bad monkey (he takes no prisoners at the table) shine!

There is a press conference scheduled later today where eager members of the poker media, including the Insider naturally, will get their first glimpse of Mikey. We'll enjoy some banana-flavored libations and then watch him go heads-up against some unfortunate human opponent.

Full credit to PokerShare.com for the single best marketing campaign at this year's World Series Of Poker, and it's just getting warmed up.

The poker chimp has his own suite at the Palms, and tonight sees a VIP party hosted by Mikey. He's taken over the Real World suite, no stranger to sordid sights of monkey business, and a great time will be had by ape and humans alike.

Our view on the matter is that Harrahs should lighten up and embrace Mikey as a publicity boon for the entire WSOP and treat it for what it is - a great story. If they don't they might end up with a little "gorilla" warfare on their hands, which no one wants to see.

After all, Mikey may be able to make a tough laydown but he definitely isn't toilet-trained.
