I'm surprised they wouldn't cover the 10K omaha event as it is. If you're going to cover one, why not the one that had the deepest field/biggest buy-in?

The field wasn't that deep -- I think 164 entries -- and the field wasn't as strong as it was for the $5k PL Omaha. I don't know enough about the workings of the WSOP to understand why some events draw loaded fields and others don't. ESPN this year definitely seems to be going for events loaded with stars.
I'm sure you'll also see the footage of the meltdown on ESPN. IIRC, they covered just about every event last year, especially the final tables, even if it wasn't the focus of the episode. It may be the $5k PL Omaha show, but they'll show highlights from other tourneys.
