I sincerely doubt either Harrahs or ESPN were "banking" on there being a big-name pro at the final table.
 
For one thing, it's numerically unlikely - the field is too big and the pros are too few.  They'd be insane to pin their ratings hopes on any big name pro making the final table.
 
For another, the Average Joe that ESPN is trying to get to watch the show doesn't know the difference between a pro and an amateur anyway, with a few small exceptions.  At least three pros made the final table last year, but I promise you the casual viewer wouldn't have known it.
 
Now if Tiffany Michelle had made the final table... [B]that[/B] would have made a difference.

Like I said in one of the other threads on this topic, what you've said here is telling - you've established that you [B]are actually OK [/B]with a final table delay, and all we're really arguing over is its duration.
 
So what's the difference between it being a few weeks, a month or four months?  There really isn't any, except that four months is long enough for ESPN to do the work that they want to do, and the other times aren't.
