I'm on the Fence about where Poker is Going- World Series of Poker

I was watching ESPN's 2008 World Series of Poker final table preview show on election night and they showed where the final table will be played. It will not be in the Rio card room, or even a different casino. Contrary to tradition, it will be held in the Rio's Pen and Teller theatre. I wouldn't have thought much of it until they showed the theatre itself. This theatre looks like it seats hundreds of spectators, if not more. If you're like me at all then you like to see the player run over to his family and friends to be embraced after catching that ace on the river or seeing his kings hold up. But what now? Are we going to see "Chino" Rheem sprint up a flight of stairs to be congratulated by his cheering section? However, all of this is irrelevant compared to the bigger picture and the question I have for any of you reading this blog. Do you like or dislike the scale on which poker is being displayed? For example: the stadium-like setting, the American Idol like preview show, and the straight to super star status the nine finalists have received, in some cases just for catching cards. Now, if I were one of the last nine I'm sure I'd revel in it. But due to the fact that I am on my comfy couch and not an uncomfortable casino chair I dare to ask the question. I'd love to hear what you have to say. So I pass the keys to you, America, or the few eyes that may be reading this. Do you love or hate what you're seeing at this year's Main Event? Thanks for lookin- "Flanders"
