USPC Taj Main Event - Is Anyone Playing?

[TStoneMBD]

i called taj on multiple occassions within the past couple days and got the same exact response from 2 different staff members. they said that a film crew from california will be filming the event, but they will only be filming the final table. they have no tv contract but they expect a small network on nationally covered extended cable to pick up the tournament.

i decided that this was not enough tv promise to make traveling to the east coast worth it for me so i wont be playing. i also assume that because no tv deal has been finalized that getting poker site sponsoring at tv tables would be especially difficult, which was a further deterrent. i would be extremely pissed off if they ended up filming day 1-5 like they did last year and a non-espn network dedicated 12 hours of tv for this event. im assuming that the taj wouldnt give me misinformation like that, but then again i know better.
