Joe Hashem: Poker is Dying Because Young Champions Lack Personality
Joe Hashem believes that the legacy of previous WSOP champions like Chris Moneymaker, Greg Raymer, and himself has been ruined by younger champions who prioritize money over the game.
Hashem mentions that the future of poker is in danger because younger champions are not forming as personalities and are only interested in money.
Daniel Negreanu agrees with Hashem that young champions could do more to promote the game but acknowledges that they are not obligated to do so.
