The powers that be have decided to change the WSOP main event so that the final table will be played in NOVEMBER after 3+ months of hype.  Also no live feed of the final table.  I'm not sure I like this yet but it may make sense.  Negraneu likes it.  Thoughts?

I love how they term it 'ENHANCEMENT' of the final table.

But in all seriousness, this IS really good for everybody BUT the 9 players who actually have to PLAY.  It will definitely create more buzz about the event for TV purposes, which is what it is seemingly all about now.

As a poker player, I am EXTREMELY superstitious and I would not like this at all PLUS I'd have already spent the prize money by the time we actually play the final table!

No soup for you!
You get last place money and the rest of the table plays in tribute to you.
And you get a headstone that says, 'Chris Koon has timed out', if you're an online player...

Call it the Jamie Gold effect.  Get rid of the hot players and give back to ESPN the broadcast time where websites cannot post the champion well before it airs.  Should definately make it more interesting.
