Default Ideas for new events at the 2008 WSOP

Evening Lads,

Longtime lurker, since '03 I'd imagine. I feel somewhat embarrassed that this will be my first post, oh well. I'd just like to get an idea of what the MTT community feels would be a potentially exciting or rather a much needed addition(s) to next year's WSOP. For example, I'm a fan of the mixed events and I would certainly like to see a very large buy-in, ~$20-25k, mixed NLHE/PLO event. Also, is there a general consensus that the possiblilty of a short-handed format with rebuys is out of the question? A sample response could look something like this:

1. $25k Mixed NLHE/PLO
2. $20k S.H.O.E. Championship
3. $5k Mixed Stud/Stud8
4. $100k NLHE w/ rebuys [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

I trust this post won't be overwhelmingly viewed as ridiculous. I'd gather there are more than a few out there who'd be interested to see some of the responses. Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

Draw Cribbage. Each player gets 4 cards, round of betting. Draw to 4 cards, round of betting. Starter card flipped, round of betting. Score your cards as a cribbage hand.

No less insane than Badugi, I'd guess.

8192 player cap $500 NL Hold'em HU flippament (automatically all in every hand preflop). Each match is only 1 round except for the final table which is a best of 7 flips.

1st: $3.5million
2nd: $85,000
3-1024: $500

Man my structures are so sick I should work for WSOP. Win 3 flips then you're on the freeroll of your life.

Yea that would be great publicity for poker. Actually make it the lottery every layman thinks it is already.

Great idea ! ....fill up the copyright'papers b4 someone got the same idea & sell it to Harrah's !

Too, I would suggest to make it selfdeal, & with the money saved, they can cut the vig.
