WSOP News...

The World Series of Poker has decided to delay the playing of the Main Event final table until November 9th.
The schedule for this year's Main Event at the World Series of Poker, a no-limit, Texas Hold 'em tournament (buy-in, $10,000) to be held in Las Vegas at the Rio Hotel & Casino:

July 3: Main Event (6,358 participants last year) begins.

July 14: Field reduced to nine players.

Nov. 9: Final table play begins, cutting field to two.

Nov. 10: Final two meet for title.

Nov. 11: ESPN airs two-hour show on the final table. Telecast begins at 9 p.m. ET.

You've just made the final table in July in the Main Event at the World Series of Poker in Las Vegas. You're one of nine players with a shot at millions. You're hot.

Now you have to wait until Nov. 9 for the next hand to be dealt.

No problem, says two-time Main Event champion Johnny Chan, who welcomes the WSOP's move to delay the final table to facilitate a Nov. 11 ESPN telecast within hours of the tournament's finish...

I would love to hear YOUR thoughts on this. Obviously, it's a good move financially but is it too commercial? Will it affect the outcome?
