    Hey I like watching all that poker on TV, but wouldn't it be cool if like at the end of the events they had one really big event for like a lot more money - cost a lot more to buy into than the small events? This would make a huge prize pool and attract a lot of people and all the pros. They could do it maybe once a year or something - so everyone and everything could build up to it and look forward to it...kinda the Super Bowl of Poker....SBOP

    anyway just a thought...

    They have 2 of these. They are called the WPT Championship and the WSOP Main Event.

    Thats mildly amusing at best. Never mind the fact that there used to be an event named that anyways.

    I understand, what is amusing was I was trying to guess how fast the first person would be to take it seriously and tell me they already have that.

    I figured my sarcasm detector was off, but you never know. I have seen plenty of similar posts that were completely serious.

    Wait wait! What if they had an event called The Masters but it was a poker tournament?!! The Masters Of Poker. Or even better, what if they had a tournament where anyone from around the world could come and play and they called it "The Poker Olympics" and instead of 6 different colored rings they had 6 different colored chips as their official symbol? How dope would that be. The possibilities are just endless!

    Very good point tiger. But I'm just going to go ahead and say that for "The Olympics of Poker" there will be 6 instead of 5. The reason is because its my idea. No one else came up with this event and no one else could have, so just accept what I've decided.

    and if there's the poker olympics, then there must also be a poker special olympics so all the donks out there can get beaten down by people with actual physical and mental disabilities

    i apologize to those offended by me poking fun at the special olympics, it is a good cause, but i couldn't resist.
