WSOP Main Event - Your thoughts on the format?

[PhlegmWad]

If you had the chance to make one change in the Main Event format, what would it be? Interesting question. Be interested in hearing.

My impression as a SPECTATOR, having watched the entire final table PPV... personally, I thought there were way too many chips on the table. Once we got to the final table, even the shorter stacks, such as Yang had over 30 big blinds - I think thats too much. I think what makes a final table truly a final table is at least SOME pressure on the small stacks. I know that more chips means more play, but having twice as many chips on the felt per person as in previous years was overkill in my opinion. Maybe they could have had some longer levels earlier in the tourney to allow for more play and shorten them or something. But they were playing 15 hands per hour at the FT and you really can't have short stacks be in a position where they don't have to play a hand for 10 hours. I didn't like the "flow". Your thoughts?
