I was gonna write some other stuff, but this basically sums up my viewpoint and I think it sums up what Negreanu was getting at too.
 
Take away the TV, take away the sponsored entries, and there'll only be a handful of people left to play in this event.  Maybe there'll be one or two stupid rich people who want to play the role of dead money, but mostly it'll only be the top mixed game pros that'll have the means to play.
 
I know, I know, that's great and that's what the tournament is supposed to be about.  Except these top pros aren't stupid.  I don't know if anyone read my point about Bobby's Room earlier, but the same really does apply here - it's established fact that Bobby's Room doesn't run unless the players are happy with the number of fish (whales actually, I guess) in the game.  These are the same people we're talking about playing in the $50K HORSE and I'm certain they'll apply the same logic.
 
You don't [I]have[/I] an edge when everyone else is pretty much as good as you are.  And if you don't have an edge, or some other reason to play like television exposure or sponsorship, you're paying an entry fee to be in the wrong game.
 
Anywho, I guess we agree to disagree.  And FWIW, I'd prefer to watch HORSE played all the way through the final table too.  I really enjoyed the past few years telecasts of the event.  But I'm not kidding myself, I know I'm definitely in the minority and I can recognise how important TV is to an event like this.
