The blind structure was very respectable, a 10x multiple of an ideal daily regular tourney that we never had.  The millions does not mean you can attract the best players in the world or even the country, it means you can get the best sponsored one way or another.  The final table list is a disgrace, the eventual champion is world class compared to the others, even if all combined.  PT Barnum already mentioned it.  We do not wished this to be infracted again on our poor poker community.
