It seemed this was discussed by the WSOP prior to the series and not deemed a problem as a player is always trying to draw to the best hand. Some players argued that it's deemed a penalty in cash games.
The ruling that it is a penalty stands for now, but that might change overnight. World Series of Poker Tournament Director Jack Effel is canvasing senior players like Barry Greenstein as to what rule will stand for the future. We'll let you know tomorrow what has been decided.
