2003 WSOP on ESPN. Day 1 only??

[thylacine]

So far ESPN just seems to keep repeating the same episode covering day 1. Surely there must be more to come, but does anyone know for sure?

I'm sure there are at least a few more episodes, but I don't know when they will be showing them.

There will be a new one every tuesday at 9pm (not sure if its est or central time). I believe they will have 5 more....not sure...anyone else know for sure?

After watching varkonyi for so long....im glad he went out...that guy was a tool. I liked how brunson just acted like it was another day at the office...very calm and collective.

I don't know, I was pretty unimpressed with Brunson. He didn't seem to have his 'A' game with him.

I've checked the channel listings and searched Yahoo TV - nothing beyond what we already know.

However, I've also emailed ESPN and asked them (what a concept).

I'll post their reply if it is at all, relevent.

I just checked the ESPN website and they have new episodes every Tuesday at 9 EST until at least Aug. 19th

Is it just me, or is EPSN doing a piss-poor job of promoting this thing? When the Travel Channel ran the WPT, there were tons of ads telling you when the next new episode would be on, what was going to happen in it, and so forth.

[JayKon]

Well, I'll agree that the promotion sucks, however, I really like the job they're doing covering the event. If it continues at the level of the first two, it will be the best WSOP coverage yet. And pretty good too.
