WSOP ME FT to be aired live, with a 'slight' delay?

I like the idea from a standpoint of how well this will improve the ratings and promotion for the game. Also, the donks that make it to the final table will likely get coached by big names which will help the popularity of well known pros which only helps the game. Overall, good for the popularity of poker, which is only a good thing for me.

Although there are certainly a lot of problems. The big one being that death, illness, and other things may cause the player being not able to attend. What would happen if one person can't show up for whatever reason? What stack do you give the final table bubble boy? Do you even let him in at this point? Do they distribute his stack evenly among all the players % wise?

I'm sure with how incompetent Harrahs people run the WSOP, they won't figure this out. But if they did, this could be a good thing.
