World Series Upgrade

Back in the day when Doyle was taking down the World Series of Poker, $10k meant something. Now $10k is not chump change, but it isn't a years wages for a decent paying job like it was then.

Does anyone else think it is time to raise the buy in to 25k to be competitive with the WPT? The Foxwoods tourney right now has as many players as the World Series did 2 years ago. What is the appropriate amount then?

The 25k WPT bellagio tourney might take over as the premier event if they don't change the formatting of the World Series. If it were me, I would raise it to 25k and see what happens, then go to 50k quickly....
