Before I go any further, let me make one thing perfectly clear. I respect everyone who\’s made the final table of the $1,500 No-Limit Hold \’em Shootout. It\’s a great accomplishment and one I\’d be happy to emulate.
That said, my question is, couldn\’t this be considered the easiest WSOP bracelet to win? Sure, it\’s a tournament that started with 1,000 players, but the winner only has to defeat 26 of them to claim the prize. It\’s not the same as a $1,500 donkament where you\’re likely to see 1- or 200 different faces on your way to the final table, or even a 10K event where you may face 40 or 50 different opponents as tables break and shift.
This is essentially three sit & gos. Tough? Sure. But compared to other tournaments?
