gmanshade 0 Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 CBS Sports Telecast Schedule Date/Time Saturday, June 17, 5–6 p.m. ET Saturday, June 24, 4:30 – 6 p.m. ET Sunday, June 25, 5–6 p.m. ET Saturday, July 1, 5–6 p.m. ET Sunday, July 2, 3–4 p.m. ET Saturday, July 8, 5–6 p.m. ET Saturday, July 15, 3–4 p.m. ET Saturday, July 22, 5–6 p.m. ET Veteran sportscaster Jeff Medders will handle the play by play with multi-talented poker player, TV analyst and star television/movie actor Gabe Kaplan providing expert commentary. IPC Poker Players Country/Name Australia: Antanas Guoga Canada: Daniel Negreanu China: Johnny Chan Costa Rica: Humberto Brenes England: Dave Ulliott France: David Benyamine Ireland: Don O’Dea Israel: Eli Elezra Italy: Marco Traniello Japan: Yosh Nakano Lebanon: Sammy Farha Mexico: Refugio Quintero Norway: Thor Hansen Pakistan: Hasan Habib Russia: Ralph Perry Spain: Carlos Mortensen South Africa: Stephen Wolff South Korea: Jimmy Cha Sweden: Chris Bjorin United States: Brunson, Doyle Vietnam: Chau Giang ***What do you guys think of this lineup? Where is Gus Hansen (denmark)? How about Freddy Deeb (I guess he may be from Lebanon as well, so they had to choose between him and Farha)? It looks like they are mainly trying to get the most "colorful" players (Tony G, Devilfish) rather than the best ones. On that note I'm surprised Scotty Nguyen is not representing Vietnam.

CrazyJoe 0 Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 is Marco Traniello really the best Italy has to offer? Not saying he's a bad player, but he hasnt been playing that long if I'm not mistaken. He's best known for being Jennfer Harmen's husband, not for his own results right?and why is Doyle so special that he gets his last name listed first? Link to post Share on other sites

Jdr999 0 Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 Anyone want to make some bets on who wins? Link to post Share on other sites
Stealth Beagle 0 Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 It's a really solid field. You can certainly debate the USA slot (Ivey?) but Doyle getting it is kind of like Cal Ripken winning the All Star balloting every year at the end of his career in that maybe he wasn't actually the best but nobody would say he doesn't deserve it.And I would have gone with Hachem with the Aussie spot, just out of respect for being the reigning Main Event champ.

HangukMiguk 8 Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 I would've also picked Martin DeKnijf for Sweden. Link to post Share on other sites
