Don't know if anyone caught this, but this was the WSOP 1994 final table. Russ Hamilton was the winner. Very boring without the hold cards. Also the Cheap Seats guys are terrible. Dick Van Patten was the poker commentator from 1994.

As I recall, that was the year when they decided to award the champ an additional prize of his weight in silver, or something like that. Naturally, that was the year Russ won. It also features Russ flopping a royal flush, if memory serves.
