Stars WCOOP main replay, why only 1 player's holecards?

Watching the ME replay right now and only see nitbuster's holecards.

Do you have any idea why others holecards aren't shown?

the other people said don't show my hole cards? use logic?

The others didn't have cards, they just guessed. Don't you know poker is about people, not cards?

Umm, why in televised poker shows all the players have to show their hole cards to the cameras?

I assumed, since Stars doing replays of big tournaments' FTs, players are obligated to agree to show their cards...

no, it's the player's choice

heres the email they send out btw when i ftd the million

Hi -
You're receiving this email because you played at the final table of this past Sunday's big tournament. First and foremost: congratulations; that was quite an achievement in a field that size (6,905).

We would like to replay this event on the site so people can watch the excitement again. To make it even more exciting, we'd like to be able to show your cards face-up.

We are asking each of you for your individual permission for us to show your hole cards during the replay. Please note that this is individual permission. That is, if player A says "Yes" and player B says "No", then we show player A's cards, but not player B's.

I realize that it might be giving up a bit of your tactics to do this, but it will be a huge win for all the players who watch. And remember - all the World Poker Tour and World Series of Poker final table players do it. If Doyle Brunson, Greg Raymer, Phil Ivey, Daniel Negreanu, and Gus Hansen are willing to show their cards, aren't you? :-)

Please get back to me at your earliest convenience so we can set up the replay. The replay will start either later today (Friday) or tomorrow and run continuously through Sunday night.

Best regards,
Mike Jones
