| Re: SPOILER ALERT!!! What do people think of the new WSOP champion? The Main Event means nothing anymore.
It's the biggest, yes, but it does not show / provide the opportunity for the best of the best to demonstrate their skills in the game of poker.
The "Main Event" has become a buy out / sell out with marketing B.S. drivel, of this online site, that online site, some beer, and a plethora of start up players coming in to stake their claim on popularity, and sell out advertising, rather than the demonstrated skill of the game over the long haul.
That being the case, I think Freddy Deeb did a great job this year. I was pleased to see him take it down. I would have liked to seen Chip Reese go back to back, but Deeb is a fantastic person for the bracelet. |
