With the completion of Day 5 of the 2008 WSOP Main Event, PokerNews’ own Tiffany Michelle sits high in fourth place of the remaining 79 players with a little over 3.43 million in chips.However it has come to my attention, and many others, while working the floor of the Rio that a little ‘conflict of interest’ has occurred. Now my question to fellow PokerNetworker’s is what do you do if you were in PokerNews’ position.At the start of the main event PokerNews put Tiffany Michelle into the main event as a PokerNews recognised player, with a cut of 30% (so we hear) of profits that she makes. Now coming into day 5 with a healthy stack, you will notice in the difference between the two photos, that Tiffany is now adorning an Ultimate Bet sponsorship patch replacing the PokerNews patch that was on her head and also semi-covering the one on her t-shirt when she wears her jacket.Now what do you do in PokerNews position?You’ve put someone in to represent the company, and is doing really well; getting world-wide exposure both online and when the show gets aired, and now all of a sudden they are wearing an online site’s logo. Now obviously they are not rivals but can this be seen as a type of betrayal or lack of loyalty by Tiffany or is it a case of to get more recognition to help further her position in the poker world???
