Re: WSOP entry fee and inflation
[ QUOTE ]
The WSOP should be at least $25k, maybe even $50k, if it wishes to remain the premier event.

People seemed obsessed with this entry fee non-issue. I think we've had more threads about this than about Greg. You guys are all missing something. The entry fee has very little impact on how the "premier" poker tournament is decided.
The year's "premier" poker tournament only needs a minimum entry fee which is substantial. After that, much more important factors come into play such as the # of entries and the publicity the tournament receives in the mainstream press. In those last two areas, the main event of the WSOP is unchallenged and remain so for the forseeable future.
Increasing the entry fee won't add any prestige to the tournament.
