I plagiarized this from RGP. It's almost as funny as Phil Hellmuth's article about Alan Goehring and Robert Varkonyi. Still LMAO!!
The 10K is no doubt the premier event of the year, year in and year out.
With all of these seats being dished out there is no doubt that Bins will
continue to set new marks for at least the next 3-5 years. After that then
what?? What will happen when the seats sold and the 1st place prize top out?
What happens when it starts to decline? All the greed that these online
rooms are seeking by giving away seats will surely in the end do more harm
than good for the game. The main event should be made up of the cream of the
crop of that years tournament/cash players. The title shouldn't go to
someone as undeserving as Money800. It makes me sick that a real player
didn't win. What kind of creditability does this bring to our game? That
someone who has never sat and shuffled chips has just won the biggest event
of the year, biggest event ever? Never put in real hours of play? Online
cards is a crapshoot at best, and by combining BM and online we are just
driving our game into the ground. How can you all say that this is so great
for the game that Joe Nobody came out of nowhere with 40 bucks to win this
thing? I improve my play knowing that maybe, just maybe if I play my cards
right I could someday be heads up with Johnny Chan or TJ, not some chump
from the sticks that had to sell 40% of his seat or ride his bike to Vegas
and sleep on a park bench. The final event should be invite only in my
opinion. The WPT has the right idea. Still have this 10K crapshoot every
year, but how about a real FINAL EVENT? Maybe raise the buy in to $25K and
invite only the top pros and tournament winners of the year to buy in. I
don't know but do something! This [censored] is making me sick, and I know I'm not
the only one.
