WSOP 2008 Final Table Delayed Until November

Four more months, then we’ll see who is the Democratic nominee, er, the WSOP champion.

The Weekly Poker Net, Volume 67a

WSOP Main Event Final Table Adjourned to November — The big news in poker has to be the announcement by the World Series that the final table of the Main Event will be adjourned to November, once the lineup of players has been determined.  The move had been rumored for some time, being done at the strong behest of broadcaster ESPN, which has been looking to pump up its flagging poker ratings.  The 117-day delay from July to November will allow ESPN to televise a “nearly live” final and promote the event in hopes of boosting interest, but drew the ire of many poker traditionalists who believe the change introduces increased possibilities for unforeseen and unwanted events to occur.  Call it the “Grand Experiment” for poker in 2008… only time will tell.
