From what i know the money goes to the owners of the WSOP or the WPT. How could you possibly say "unlimited (often intrusive) access to tables". IT IS THEIR EVENT lol. They are not forcing you to play there. You are joining their event and they have rules that you agree to abide by.

Now onto the money thing again. Why should the TV ad money be given to the players? The players could care less about your entertainment, they are their to win money.

If you owned WSOP would you say hey guys why don't you just take my money i work for free?

Think about it, they have to pay the casino for the time and space (NOT CHEAP), pay people to run the tournament, pay the people to tape it, pay the play by play guys etc.

The owners are doing nothing wrong.
