Why is the WSOP main event final table played in November?

Why is the WSOP main event final table played in November? More than 65 days after the day it gets down to 9? Is it going to be live on TV or something?

jamsey 		ESPN wanted them to do it, so they can show all the other event from that year. So that when the time comes for the November 9 to play ESPN would have caught up with them.

Basically, so espn can show the Main Event final table just days after it happens.

soutie 		The idea behind this significant change is to build up the anticipation for the final table.With the long layover, ESPN will be able to broadcast human interest pieces on each contestant during the four month hiatus,

smithy 		The truth is that it doesn't matter what ESPN wants.

Las Vegas changed it so that gamblers had another reason to come to Las Vegas; you will see many big promo/events concurrently.

When you think of LV, think of the best marketers in the world.
