Default Why are televised final tables only 6 handed.

Just curious as to why when they show final tables in tournaments they're always 6 handed? That's not the normal format for single tables in event like WSOP or WPT is it, I mean prior to the final table.

They want to show action... and SH is action central. I guess it's good, mixed with the 2 hour format that WPT uses, so you can see 'more' actual poker being played, rather than basically a highlight reel.

Poker Superstars is the dumbest thing I have ever seen. At least in the first round. Did it have the exact same format in previous years? I seem to remember it being a little more compelling before.
