San Jose, Costa Rica May 12, 2008 In one of the biggestchanges in the history of the World Series of Poker, Harrah s Entertainmentannounced that the final table of the 2008 Main Event will be filmed on November 9thin order to coincide with its television airing. In essence, the world will wonderfor over 100 days who will win poker s most prestigious crown. Harrah sCommunications Director, Seth Palansky, breaks down the decision this week on thePocketFives.com Podcast.
Palansky reassures players that much deliberation went into the decision to pushfilming back 100 days: We had over a year of research and analysis. We didn t cometo the decision lightly. It affects less than one-tenth of 1% of Main Eventparticipants. The discussion it has generated so far proves that it s a worthy shotin the arm for poker. The move has gotten the entire online poker forum atPocketFives.com talking.
One of the biggest benefits of the change is that months of build-up can now occur: To have a promotional platform to push towards makes a big difference in anymarketing game plan. This will allow 117 days to allow the public to get to knowthese nine finalists.
