This has to be in the running for the photo of the year award. Too bad most of the posters wouldn't recognize the original shot.

Wasn't that the Fonz?

Yes, the original photo was a still of the Fonz from the series Happy Days. This was where the term "jumping the shark" comes from. In the episode, Fonz jumps a shark while skiing.

I think the WSOP has become less about playing good poker and more about getting face time.
