assuming this live coverage has been a success, i wonder whether they will do away with the november nine concept and just have the whole final table live?

I think as long as they have WSOP-E counting towards player of the year, November 9 as a concept is safe.

They want it to be the grand finale, with all the build up and hype that goes with it.

Yeah, but a successful live coverage rating will help to negate this. I personally hate the November 9 idea. Imagine making the final table for WSOP, then having an accident or something 3 months later and not be able to compete........????
What?, poker without the river??, you've just made my dreams come true!!!

yea it must be horrible making the november nine

having to sit around for 4 months to wait for the final table, the only thing you have to do is spend all the millions of dollars you have now have the chance to earn through sponsorships and associations . that come with being an instant celebrity.
Does anyone know how to make money playing uno vs 6 year olds, its about the only card game i get to play these days.

Krunchie they only get 780k at the moment for 9th place.

But being in the November 9 after 8days if solid poker and then having 3 months off to the play for millions will mean rather than someone getting lucky because a player is fatigued. They can have them fresh and the best player should win.

Also called the Jamie gold never again rule. What if darvin moon had won. Loses its prestige.

exactly what i was thinking pete

I wasnt talking about the prize money brett, i was talking about the other money you now have the opportunity to earn specifically because you are a member of the november 9 and the 4 months layover time and build up, that you can use for sponsorhip deals, endorsements etc ( mind you will be harder this year with no tilt or stars money)
