I realize it is extremely EASY for me to say this being a marginal (at-best) internet player, but I truly believe if I were in the shoes of Brunson, Chan or Hellmuth I would have turned down the invitation to particpate, citing the fact that I did not go thru the proper steps to qualify to play in the tournament. It would have been the magnanimous (and correct) thing to do.
That being said, if the cardplayer updates online are any indication, it appears as if the final table WILL be interesting to watch, from a personality perspective, with both Hellmuth and Mike the Mouth still involved.
