Event 1: Big Stack Building

$500 + $60 Deep Stack NLH (Re-Entry)

Level 15: 1,500/3,000/400 ante 

 Anthony Licastro trademark Anthony Licastro

This guy is up to 350k and possibly the chip leader here in the Event Center.  "I copyrighted my name" he told me.  We're going to have trouble if he makes the final table.

Then I went to google and found this:

 "Subject Matter of Copyright
Under section 102 of the Copyright Act (title 17 of the U. S. Code), copyright
protection extends only to “original works of authorship.” The statute states
clearly that ideas and concepts cannot be protected by copyright. To be
protected by copyright, a work must contain a certain minimum amount
of authorship in the form of original literary, musical, pictorial, or graphic
expression. Names, titles, and other short phrases do not meet these
requirements."


He meant to say that he trademarked his name, which is entirely possible.  He's also giving us his permission to use his name.
