So they trimmed the field at the World Series of Poker main event to a final table of nine players this week. And now all nine have to WAIT until November -- so the final table can be an ESPN November event. (Apparently it won't be televised live, as some had rumored.)
I'm a firm believer in momentum at a poker table. Someone can get on a roll (pardon the reference to another casino game), and run over several opponents at a time. Do you like this four-month waiting period? It's even longer than the three months before the Daytona 500.

I would certainly hope that this had been announced to ALL PLAYERS prior to the start of the competition. It would truly be a shock to get down to the final table and then be told come back in 4 months. Not to mention everyone from 10th place to 6,000whatever place got paid already and the top 9 have to wait to claim any prize money til the tourney plays out in November.
I truly believe this is just ... a sacrilige to the history of the WSOP. But ...what can you do?

Hopefully The Nine will remember a lesson I learned long ago -- never spend the money until the check clears the bank.
