From a WSOP 2007 press release
I just can't keep up with these corporate wordsmiths. These guys are just way too witty.
LAS VEGAS – June 05, 2007 – Harrah’s License Company, LLC, a subsidiary of Harrah’s Entertainment, Inc. (NYSE:HET), has entered into an multi-year agreement with Kraft Foods Global Inc. (NYSE:KFT) to make Planters nuts an official sponsor of the World Series of Poker and the “official nut” of poker’s biggest event.
“The sponsorship is a great fit given that “the nuts” is a common poker phrase associated with having the best hand in any given situation,” said Stephen Chriss, director consumer promotions, Kraft Foods, Inc.

Major League Baseball was announced as the official sport of the WSOP. This is based on the use of "outs" as lingo for both organizations.
As a result Harrah's will only use official MLB bats during "negotiations".
