well so its that time of year again, where thousands of hopefuls sit down, all with the dream of walking away with the Main Event title.
You can follow the action on live on cardplayer.com and discuss it here.

I think I read somewhere that they're going to play the Main Event down to the final table, and then put it on hold until closer to when it airs on ESPN. Decent idea to try to build up more interest.

Every year these things appen and look for the same in 2008.
At least one bg name pro makes the final table.
A few other prminent pros make it deep (top 100)and some lesser known pros
A no name will likely win it all
At least one crazy character will beome well known.

I think waiting until months later to play the final table increases the odds that a professional will finally win it again. As long as one makes the final table, they won't have to worry about the media, the pressure, and the fame going to their head. Plus, the "fatigue" factor that, I think, hurts the better players more, will be gone when you take a few months off.

People won't be forgetting about it because during those 4 months or whatever, ESPN will show a few hours worth almost every day, driving non-poker players up a wall.
...wait, did I say that?

Yeah, if anything this will build the hype, because you won't have the results published on ESPN.com months before a single hand is shown on television.

the total number of participants this is year is just above 6,800 which is 500 more than last year. The poker recession is not here yet.
Also, Phil Hellmuth survived Day 1!

Fair enough.
Is he in good shape among those remaining, or on the edge?

Not too bad.
Of course, since what gets shown on ESPN all the time is the late stuff, those both seem like small chip amounts
