Hate to be that guy, but the series really does fall considerably short from the books.
Hmm, I'd say their increasing budget has allowed them to do bigger sets and effects to paint that grand picture from the books.

Just compare the tournament for the new hand in season 1 with what we get now. HUGE difference in scale.
