WSOP Now The WFOP - World Farce Of Poker
They went and made the nonsense official. As was rumored Harrah’s and ESPN have decided to destroy the greatest brand in poker.
The World Series of Poker will pause play on July 14th when the event is scheduled to be down to nine players. Those nine will return on November 9th to play out the final table. The next day the final two players will play heads up to determine the eventual “champion”. Capping things off ESPN will air a two-hour showing of the final table on November 11th.
That’s right. The final table will be delayed 4 fucking months so that ESPN can air a two hour shove fest. So what the hell changes here? At least make it interesting and show the damn thing live. If ESPN isn’t going to change the format of it’s telecast then what’s the point?
I covered my arguments against this a few posts back so I won’t rehash it here. I just can’t believe they went ahead and followed through with it.
