From 2015 wsop FAQ:

What must I provide to collect Tournament Winnings?
Winners must show their current valid picture identification (driver’s license, state identification card, or military identification card) acceptable to Caesars Entertainment in order to collect prizes. If a participant is not a U.S. citizen, a current passport, consular identification or alien registration card is required. • U.S. Residents: Must provide a Social Security Number. • U.S. residents not providing a Social Security Number will be subject to 28% tax withholding. • Foreign Residents of U.S. Tax Treaty Countries: Must provide an Individual Tax Identification Number. • Foreign Residents of Treaty Countries, not providing an Individual Tax Identification Number, will be subject to 30% tax withholding. • Foreign Residents of U.S. Tax Non-Treaty Countries: Will be subject to 30% tax withholding.

May I apply for an Individual Tax Identification Number during the WSOP?
Tournament Staff will assist WSOP winning foreign players from United States Tax Treaty Countries in applying for an Individual Tax Identification Number.

Which tournament staff members at the WSOP assists a foreign player from a United States Tax/Non-Tax Treaty Country in getting their Individual Tax Identification Number (ITIN)? Just curious.
