    All in on the wsop internet qualifier, Poker on TV has been losing steam over the year. What a better way to get more viewers and people interested in the game and to let a normal broke dyck fuk win it.

    Here's an idea. We get 8 posters put in 100 points. We hold a draft for these 64 players. 8 players per person. Winner takes all. Who's in?

    The good players never win anyway.

    I've seen the odds before, they are laughable.
    2plus2 kids lost all their money betting on Ivey and Dwan.

    I made a thread for the contest. We can try to do the live draft tonight. Getting people together at the same time is always tough. I'll cover your buy in until you have enough.

    All you have to do is have all players fill out a complete ranking 1-64 and send their forms to an honest poster who can fill in the board for everyone. He would just need a couple other posters to witness the drawing live over video.

    Please note that, on Wednesday, Daniel Negreanu opted out of playing the event, making room for the addition of David "Doc" Sands. Jennfier Harman has also pulled out of the competition, and Tom Marchese will be filling her slot.
