I was just reading a story in All In Mag about the WPT. It is definitely geared for TV. When two players had most of the chips the organizers and the players decided to add a zero to everyones chip stack to make the tourney last longer for TV. Also the format changes every year, with past winners invited but "sponser requested" players invited also.
I'm going to Niagara Falls next month and just found out that the WPT will commence there the day after I leave. Arggggghhhhh. |
