Especially considering their ratings had been falling by alot since 2004. It might not be the absolute best thing in terms of the players or the flow of the game, but it definitely is a good move for Harrah's and the WSOP brand to still be on ESPN. If you need an example of what happens when you get stale, look at the WPT, which is now on it's 3rd network (Fox Sports Net) and their buy in numbers are beginning to drop off. They are also starting to cut events from their tour like the Borgata Winter Open. I don't see how that is good for anyone. [/QUOTE]
