Ridic idea.

Can see why they wana do it though, but think it will just take something away from the Main Event.

so no1 will no who is gonna win, and all the espn stuff from day1 til the final will have been aired.

but yeah, will ruin the integrity of the torn.  i'd bet that it wont happen tho.

and then you have a car crash over the next three months and can't make the final...what then? (admittedly this could happen oernight before the final table anyways but slightly more likely to have it happen over a 3 month period)

There are a ton of issues with it, it kills any momentum people have. Pro's will coach the players for x% of additional winnings. Any of the players who were on the feature tabels  ( TV tables ) will be analysed to feckery and will be at a disadvantage to anyone who wasnt.

Deaths, injuries, blackmail, etc.

There is no such thing as a funny German..and given that we both know that, I suggest to you Sir that you simply have a dislike for Germans!...and what have they ever done to deserve that?
