Anyone else pumped to finally see some coverage of this year's WSOP on tv. I am pretty upset still that ESPN is airing the ME first this year instead of the preliminary events, but happy to finally be able to watch the WSOP. It starts in 3 hours and the first couple days are fun to watch since you will see all the big names bust.

It should make for good tv. Whats on tonight? 1A and 1b?

i was in the RIO watching it live. ESPN makes it seem like a TV show more than a poker tournament !

jeez, enough hold em, im starting to get bored of watching hold em
ppl thing other games arent popular, if they show other games maybe those games will get more popular

I should really buy cable at some point.

or invest on a good bt client

HORSE is only gonna be one episode?! That's soo lame.

Free satelite from my US friends.

Well, it's good to know that the WSOP on ESPN isn't a TV show. If I didn't look carefully enough, I'd be liable to think it was a boat, or maybe a curling iron. or an autographed fax from Alan Greenspan. Whew.

QFT

I just saw the other games from last year a few weeks ago. They replay 04, 05 ME all the time, but what about the events? One episode for HORSE, that's brutal. Its 6 games and they only get one episode?

No cable DNA?

hth

i dont get espn so im missing out on the ME. i watched it live because someone had a link and was showing it live on the net. anyone know of somewhere i can watch it on the internet without having to wait for a torrent? i want to see exactly what jamie gold was doing. that silly goose.

Ever since the WSOP made the HORSE final table NLH, ESPN has said they will only be televising the final table for TV. However that is very lame that HORSE is only 1 episode, it should be 2 at the very least especially since all the big names are in it. Harrah's and ESPN has really managed to screw up the WSOP in soo many ways.

fyp




why do you care what they air first or second? I think the other events must have gotten poorer ratings than the hold'em event in previous years, that really sucks, but it is what it is.

ok ok..what i meant the people in RIO and WSOP seemed more into making it made for TV WSOP the the real poker that it is!
like it takes them 1 min to flip over the turn and river so the camera's can get in place!!
it all seems so staged !

and who the fuck asked you anyways

I am looking forward to seeing the chaos that was Day 1a/b/c/d. It should be interesting viewing.

Also, I put the over/under on Norman Chad's failed-marriage/divorce references at 5 for the combined 2 hours tonight.

Wow they're gonna fit all 4 groups of Day 1 into two episodes? How many episodes does ESPN plan on making the Main Event this year? Last year it was 12 episodes. I'm guessing 14 or 16 episodes this year?

is anyone aware if there is an online stream of the ME tonight for us poor souls who dont get espn?

I actually have no idea what days are being aired tonight....I was just saying I was looking forward to seeing what a madhouse it was. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the ME coverage is 6 weeks. 2 episodes each week would give us 12, same as 2005.

no espn for us. someone help!

Hellmuth is not disappointing..

HAHA anyone just watch the Hellmuth interview?

wow hellmuth could have been gone early getting dealt JJ vs. QQ and KK vs. AA.. both good reads by him (esp the JJ one)

"If they don't steal a little bit, I can't set up the Ka-CHUNK!"

OMGWTFBBQ!!111oneoneone!

Some of the stories are okay but others they should have just taken out so we could see more poker.

Hellmuth is making me a believer. How do you lose that little in a AA vs KK confrontation? He almost made me think he called the river bet just so he could show his KK to the kids AA.

Let it be said that hence forth, Phillip shall be referred to as "God on felt"


Thank you.

40 minutes in and they have shown about 8 hands....

YOUNG PHIL

umm to all you people who dont have espn theres gotta be a bar around you that shows espn..................

This first episode is clearly not about the poker. It's about the "event" that it has become.

I would definitely like to see more poker. This feels like a warm-up -- more like a pre-game show or a preliminary competition than the main event itself. However, I think the story about the guy with the brain tumor is worth following.

Whos this douchebag butchering Mikeys quote?

"this ain't the kitty game!"

THE GREASTEST HOLDEM PLAYER.......IN HISTORY


Thank God Phil won his 10th bracelet because now his ego is at its zenith.

Greatest hold'em player ever? Psh.

we have to wait until tomorrow for the torrent... be patient.

Classic...Phil whining to Annie Duke.

Phil NEVER dissapoints.

haha hellmuth complaining to annie duke.. that's strange.

Newbie to the rescue!

Select ESPN from the list and away you go. You might have to D/L the client but it does work.
