PokerStars WPT Broadcast

heyrocker · #1 01-24-2004, 03:45 PM

I don't know if this is old news, but PokerStars has setup a virtual table representing the final table of their WPT event, and is going to be broadcasting the action through this table live beginning at 3:00 EST (ie like ten minutes from now.)

Go to the WPT tab, the tourney is PokerStars WPT Final Table Broadcast. Should be fun, dont know if they're showing hole cards or not (I assume not.)

Hey, thanks. This should be interesting. I wonder if this will look and feel much different from any other final table of an online tournament.

(just started)

"Gus makes a face and asks for a count..."

I like the commentary...

Just got underway. Obviously much slower pace than watching an online tourney, but not too bad.

As I write this Schrijvers just went allin against Hansen. Message says "Gus makes a face and asks for a count". He calls and it's AQ for Gus AJ for Schrijvers and Gus takes 224K down. Man, this is pretty cool.

Short stack D'Agostino allin JJ vs Q9 for Hansen. Q flops, down to 4. Wow, quick work.

Gus's draw of the K! What a hand!

This is great fun...

WPT won't have much of show if this goes on. Be over in 20 minutes at this rate, lol.

How are they going to make a show out of this? Its going to last like ten minutes! [img]/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img]

Did I see that wrong or did Negreanu have a flush against Corkins' 22 in that hand? Yet, they gave the hand to Corkins. Was there something I missed there? Or maybe a bug in their playback code?

Obviously messed up the hand in the relay.

Did I miss something on Negreanu's all-in?

Hmm...
