It turns out those rumors have some legs, but were intermingled in some minds with the accelerated finish of the Shooting Star main event a handful of days later. Those rumors included such potential details as the unnamed player being ordered to self-quarantine, but having possibly infected a food server at a Bay 101 restaurant, where he dined. Much of the rumor-mongering centered on an unnamed high-stakes poker who was alleged to have played while sick (possibly with the coronavirus) at Bay 101 just prior to the start of the Shooting Star series. Still, many rumors and speculation connected to the Covid-19 breakout and its potential impact at San Jose’s Bay 101 and across the United States’ economy were everywhere, including among players and some staff at Bay 101. It was the last major poker event to be played in the United States before American casinos began shuttering en masse around three weeks ago. It’s not surprising that the Covid-induced, 10-way chop in the Bay 101 Shooting Star main event has turned out to be an important happening in the poker world.
