I don't like the idea of having a break and then having the players compete for the graal after the competition started like months ago. It breaks the momentum but nevertheless it has it advantages, the other players can focus on the opponents and improve their game towards them.

This is quite unsuaul a FT for a major event like the WSOP as all the players bar Farber are very good and have over $100k in earnings from poker. Tran is a favourite but as we know anything and everything can happen and probably will.
The break until now just seems ridiculous - I can't see any benefit at all for the public, fans or the players really. It will feel like the most lucrative 9-man Sit n Go they have ever been in.

they should definitely scrap the november 9. the wait for months does nothing for the tourney. all the other poker players are in vegas for the world series and they should play it out there and then. imagine waiting for months if you were made the final table, would never get to sleep!
