Default Re: why WSOP main event only 10K?

I hope they don't change it for a while.

The WSOP main event certainly has changed from what it once was. I don't necessarily think that is a bad thing. It is the only tournament in the world that has such a gigantic field. Some may gripe about it being a massive clusterf*ck but that is what makes it great. It is truly a test of endurance, skill, and luck. The excitement that is created by the main event is feeding the poker boom. Without the large field what separates it from another WPT event?

I'm not sure the pros would want the buy-in to be increased either. Think of the side action these guys are getting with thousands of wanna-be's with money to burn!
