I love how those who have never seen anything like the PPL play out before have stated how bad a concept it was.

I personally would have loved to see this show happen, but I don't hold out any hope at this point.

I doubt it is going to fly now.

No one left to back it.

I do, too. A couple of friends and I played at the initial tournament at The Venetian when the pros were pimping the PPL - it was called the 'Dethrone the Kings and Queens' of poker event, and it followed the PPL draft. The pros at my table - especially Ted Forrest - were very, very excited about this and thought the structure was fantastic. I was excited about it, too, because I felt like I was kind of there when it started ... or at least more so than other TV poker events.

It's not going to happen, I guess, but there was so much excitement about it that Saturday in October that I'm curious as to why it's not going to go down.

Recall that WPTE lobbied hard for the UIGEA, thinking that the passage of the UIGEA will choke off all the "time buy TV" projects funded by the likes of Full Tilt and MANSION.

Links? This is news to me.

Thanks. That's not quite lobbying for it though, more a press release to keep stock prices from plummeting.
