but as mike said: someday the only people in the WSOP will be those staked by Ivey, Forrest, Lindgren, Doyle ... and the Stars FT players + maybe 20 more - all others will be busto.
Because they are professionals and have learned and adapted . it was only a matter of time imo. im guessing they probably realized that trying to outplay random donks is a bad idea and instead just play ABC style with the occasional overbet shove when they have the nuts against a guy who really seems to like his hand and would also LOVE to knock out a big name pro. just a guess. whatever the reason is, im glad il get to see some final tables this year with people who deserve to be there.
That's what I think. Wait till you get to the Main Event & you have 300+ players per 1 pro. You could conceivably have another idiot like Jamie Gold on a hot streak win it. These current games have a much smaller filed where most of the players are pro's themselves.
i think its the structures cuz they have much more play this year meaning the pros can utilize wat they know and take advantage of the less skilled players, its annoying how some ppl on this thread r saying that its rigged and **** cuz its obv not ITS THE FRIGGIN WORLD SERIES u idiots.
There are more non Holdem events plus there are more higher buyins. This leads to mostly pros in some events with smaller fields which makes it look like the pros are doing better than past years.

Why are so many online players killing it at the WSOP then?
In one year an online player plays more hands than a live pro does in 20 years.
Also the internet allows players to study the past history of all tournament play.
