Would The Main Event Would Work Better As A Shootout ?

To increase the chances of the skilled players, take a page from the Tour de France. Everyday all the survivors start with equal chip stacks. This would reduce the effects of being lucky on day one. The luckbox amateurs would need to be lucky everyday. On the final table each player would start with a equal amount of chips plus a carryover from each of the other days. The maximum carryover would be less than the equal amount of chips. The chip leader would start with at most twice the size of the short stack.

Not a bad idea in spirit, but ...

Problem #1: can you imagine the stalling tactics that would come as the end of each day came? It would become the WSOP of bubble poker.

On day one, use golf rules. 75% of the field will be cut. The smallest chip stacks are out.
