One Step Closer to WSOP Sale

The company that owns and operates the World Series of Poker brand, Harrah's Entertainment Inc, may soon be sold off to private investors, as the lights keep turning green on the game plan. Recently Harrah's announced that the Missouri Gaming Commission had granted approval regarding the company's proposed acquisition by Apollo Management and TPG Capital. This is just one step of a long journey, but many other steps have been taken prior to this, with approval coming from many sources, including various states and the European Union. The idea is to complete the sale by early 2008.
