Message: [QUOTE="Stu_Ungar, post: 1230733, member: 39779"] I really dont see it like that. I think that the 50K horse tournament represents the highest level of poker skill, but NLHE is what the public want to see. By changing the format such that NLHE is played on the FT, the 50K horse champion can be crowned as the years greatest poker player. Without the TV coverage, the event loses some prestige and its winners miss out on the chance of some mainstram celeberaty status. Granted DN is a great NLHE player, but to get to the FT he must excel at HORSE. I just see the inclusion of NLHE on the FT as an extra layer of skill which the players must demonstrate. I don't see a flaw in not having NLHE on the FT of all HORSE events as they wouldn't be televised anyway, much as the smaller NLHE events aren't either. I really see it as the ultimate test of a poker player by including NLHE on the FT. [/QUOTE]
