New Trophy
 

Just as golf has the green jacket, and football has the Lombardi trophy, the WSOP "main event" winner deserves something even more significant than the obligatory bracelet.
Yes, I'm endorsing the creation of the DOYLE BRUNSON trophy to the winner of the world's greatest poker tournament! This would be a perfect tribute to both the winner and poker's greatest ambassador.

Hmmm, how about millions of dollars

Re: New Trophy
 

I always chuckle when Vince or Mike tell us that they aren't concerned with the money, just the prestige of winning (and, of course, the free pass to the 25K championship, where they can win millions more!).

Re: New Trophy
 

Green jackets, the Stanley Cup, and WSOP bracelets have prestige because of tradition. A new trophy will not.

Football, golf, and hockey are all sports and worthy of tropheys. Poker is played by fat lazy people and is not a sport. Although Robert Varkoyni was a cut-up fine tuned athlete....... Trophey ahahaha, when will you people learn? What's next, the World Series of UNO? A trophey named after a degenerate gambler, nice!!!

Re: New Trophy
 

I think a gold bracelet is a much better trophy than an awful green jacket.

Re: New Trophy
 

While I agree that poker is not a sport, I don't see what this has to do with whether it's deserving of a trophy or not.

Also I don't think the ME needs a trophy.

Booooo

Re: New Trophy
 

Competitive eating is more of a sport than poker is...... Even bowling is more deserving of a trophy. Putting the Lombardi Trophey in the same paragraph as poker makes me want to vomit.

Re: New Trophy
 

their trophy is essentially getting their picture on that wall of champions. just like the other trophies, they don't get to keep it, but they have their name engraved (or in this case, placed) on the wall.
