Message: [QUOTE="OzExorcist, post: 2222476, member: 23910"] I'm not sure I understand who this harms - they [b]all[/b] have access to the same information on the 15 minute delay, and they all knew that was going to be the case going into the tournament. It doesn't really appeal to the poker purist in me either, but again, everybody in the tournament is in the same boat and they all knew about it going in, so it's not like anybody's being disadvantaged or anything. Also it's what ESPN wants. And with coverage on ESPN being one of the biggest factors in attracting new fish to the game (not to mention sponsors and everything else) you can understand why the WSOP was keen to embrace the concept. Hell, if ESPN wanted all the players at the final table to play in gingham dresses because they thought it'd improve ratings I'd say the WSOP would be stupid not to comply. [/QUOTE]
