Default Guessing opponent\'s hole cards on TV.

Ok, I know Hellmuth loves to guess at his opponent's hole cards, and often announces his opponent's hole cards, if he thinks he's got a good read. He even talks about this valuable skill in the book that he wrote.

So, I was thinking that it would be awesome for TV, if there was a showdown of cards, that each player could be awarded a $5,000 bonus prize for accurately guessing the opponent's hole cards before they must be flipped over. Is this too cheesy for the WPT? It could be done off camera, somehow, as not to disrupt play. Maybe let each player use a touch-screen to put down their guess, so they aren't giving away too much. A player could also simply "pass", if they didn't want to try at the $5,000 prize, for whatever reason.

For a TV audience, it would be really cool, to kinda see how these guys are thinking. I mean, I get a kick out of Hellmuth when he calls out the other player "having jacks" after both are all-in. It would be interesting to see how good, and how bad some of the reads are.
