We posted last week about the change that Harrah's and the WSOP have made to the final table of the 2008 World Series of Poker Main Event. Essentially, the tournament will play down to the final table and then take a 100-ish day break before playing it out for the championship and millions of dollars.

As with any changes in the poker industry, blogs and forums have been ablaze with opinions over the relative stupidity and/or genius of this change. Well, the good people over at RawVegas.tv took their cameras out and about in Vegas and spoke to a few industry folk about the change and how good it is for poker, including poker pro Daniel Negreanu, John Caldwell (editor of PokerNews.com) and the dissenting voice of Bryan Micon of NeverwinPoker.com fame.

Take a look and let us know how you feel about the change to the 2008 WSOP Main Event final table in the comments.
