Re: Main Event-- has the sport jumped the shark??
The main event is all about who gets the luckiest, not who plays the best. Most of the contestants, especially Khan, Yang, and Humberto act like classless morons. Penis Creamus out.

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. [/ QUOTE ] Wasn't that the Fonz?

Re: Main Event-- has the sport jumped the shark??
I reakon lets have a 100k buy-in no limit tourney where players start of quite deep stacked with 100k in chips. That way the winner would most likely be a decent player, rather than having more 'Jamie Golds' and 'Jerry Yangs'. Then lets dedicate a whole channel to 24-7 WSOP coverage with no lame personal feel-good stories on the players, coz we want to watch poker not 60 minutes. Also, don't forget to replace to commentators with Gabe.
...I think that would make for better viewing (well maybe not 24/7 coverage)

[/ QUOTE ] 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.
