WSOP keeps evolving

I don't know about you but this years World Series of Poker has been extremely quiet and calm. There has been a little news here and there but nothing major. Yeah, Phil Ivey won another bracelet in the Deuce to Seven Lowball event but that hardly surprises anyone. Are the days of the top pros winning the Main Event over? Will each winner from here on out be another no name internet whiz? Are we doomed to continue to have a sea of satellite entries from now on?

Over the past few years the World Series of Poker has evolved since Harrah's bought it out. Some of the changes I actually like. Others I have not been as happy with. The changes that I do like are the ones they made to make poker players accountable for their language and actions. After the Hevad Khan debacle something needed to be done. We also don't want to see any more alcohol induced ramblings from Scottie Nguyen either. Last years tournament pretty much addressed those two issues and this year things are even more closely watched.

Also, I wasn't a big fan of the delayed Final Table for the Main Event either. However, I do believe the idea can work provided you get a commitment from the players to interview and do talk shows in-between. Otherwise, you will have another colossal flop like last year. We will see how it shakes out. after hearing feedback from this years players. Trust me, more change is coming to the WSOP. You can count on it.
