"But adding only the three superstars probably increases most of the players down the road poker EV by more than the thousand it costs them in the short run."

I do not see why this is true, care to elaborate or are u waiting for others to explain?

Also u realize that only the final table was televised, so it was probably less than 50/50 that any of these three would get any airtime anyways.
