Considering that they're playing 12 hours a day for 8+ days straight, and alot of emotional roller coaster rides they have to endure, not to mention having to take alot of verbal bantering from Phil Hellmuth, and Mike Matasow in particular, that can take alot out of someone. I myself would like to participate in the Main event someday, and the only way I would do so is by having a poker belt at stake to the winner. Honestly, I think all sports big and small ought to have a championship belt including the NBA, golf, and the NFL! I strongly feel that the WSOP ought to consider having a poker belt from now on!

Belts are for the ring. Why belt? They don't wear tops. You won't go to a poker tourney on a wrestling/boxing outfit just to show your belt! Tourney winners are recognized on the tables with or without their bracelets. I like the way it is: bracelets! Belts are for the ring. Why belt? They don’t wear tops.
