The WSOP ME is still very much a skill event - however, with 5000+ entrants you are going to see more "unknowns." If you look back to when Doyle won back to back, I believe there were about 20 entrants each year. When Chan won back to back, I think it was about 150-200 entrants. You do the math.

Your option for playing multiple hands just wouldn't work. Carrying that option to it's logical conclusion, why not just turn over your pocket cards and declare a winner based on probability? I kind of like seeing the "robot system" players take bad beats...would much rather watch a Gus Hansen or Stu Ungar play anytime.
