make the buy-in more substantial, say $500k or a mil. Eliminate online players from qualifying via satellite. Rich donks are okay, I guess.
Basically have a poker championship for poker pros.
I'd watch.
instead of those wiener dog bracelets, get some serious bling bling...or a wee Stanley Cup.

There is a lot of talk about something big happened, unfortunately, as usual, I can't talk about it, lol!

there's already something like this going on.
it's a $250k buy-in, and automatically in are about 20 of the world's best players.
it's some kind of format where it's 100 entrants, of which 20 have their buy-ins paid to play because they are the world's best. there are 2 of these 20 WCPs at each of the ten tables, something like that.
i forgot the name, but there was an article about it in the most recent issue of cardplayer (or maybe it was the one before this one).
