Default Size of WSOP Controversy?

With the Size of the Wsop getting as big as it is, is there any chance in the future to speed up the tournaments 2 or 3 casinos will take part in this so instead of 2 or 3 day 1's everyone will play at the same time just in different casinos?

I doubt it. If you have ever been to the Rio you will see just how huge the convention area is (where the WSOP is) and I don't know how many casinos could come close to hosting even a portion of the tournament that is held there. Not only that but I think it is more plausible to spread out the tourney over a few first days than to try and transport that many poeple to different locations, I think splitting up day one will always be the norm.

I just think it would run smoother instead of coursing the main event out over 2 weeks. It could geta bigger turn out for amateurs who would have to take off of work for this event.

A big part of the problem would be staffing, competent dealers and floor people are rare enough as it is, you also have the fact the many of the events are televised so you have TV production trailers and millions of dollars worth of camera equipment to move from site to site, etc.

I just don't see it happening, a secondary part of the equation is that they end up making more money the longer the series takes to play out. Hotel Rooms, Restaurants, Pit Losses, not to mention the additional rake from live games.

I seriously doubt it would ever be split between different casinos.

Anyone opinion of the Series that it is starting to get too run out. I mean for the top pros who play every event they are there for a month and a half though.
