According to a press release just sent out by Harrah's:

The $50,000 buy-in World Championship HORSE event, originally scheduled to start at noon on Sunday, June 22, is now set to begin at 5 p.m. Wednesday, June 25. The $2,500 buy-in 2-7 Triple Draw Lowball contest originally scheduled to begin at 5 p.m. June 25 is now set to start at noon on June 22.

The changes were made to enable ESPN to film extensive coverage of the HORSE World Championship. ESPN is expected to begin airing of its coverage of 2008 WSOP action in July.

That is all. We're not sure how the ripple effect of this announcement will play out as we get closer to the start of the tournament. This is still breaking news, so stay tuned for more updates.

You'd better qualify online for the 2008 WSOP now before they cancel the whole thing.
