Keep in mind that the WSOP could change the sponsorship rules on their final tables to forbid third party brands from being displayed, its too soon to know what their plans are but its within their right to do so.
and to see what happens next, refer to the sport known as boxing:
a bunch of greedy people create a rivaling bunch of alphabet soup entities that they idiotically assume the fans will come on board for the same way as when it was one recognizable homogenous entity.
and of course, just as in boxing, the casual fan will leave, the amount of major tournaments covered in the mainstream media will go from one to ZERO, and the steve begleitters of the world will all move on to their next hobby, and all the greedy people, instead of working together to try to make everyone happy, will have killed their golden goose just like boxing did.
