Default Re: Liz Lieu \"bought\" her win at the LA PokerClassic.....any thoughts?

"When players make a deal at the end of the tournament, I believe the trophy is one of the things they are entitled to negotiate for."

I don't agree here. If it were to be percieved like this then it makes poker all business and no sport. The sport of it is what's is so great about tournaments. I understand the business incentives that players have and agree with deal making to a certain degree, but why create a situation where people can fabricate wins through purchase and distort achievment. True we play for the money, do we really need to whore the entire experience of tourneys, isn't there a certain degree of competition that we need to maintain in it?
