If it's on the Fox Sports series of networks, then it's from 2004, it's the Championship at the Plaza event held just after this year's WSOP.

Kevin...

Just wanted to bump this and say according to Yahoo there is a new WPT episode on the Travel channel in ten minutes.

Edit to say its on now and is a repeat of Foxwoods 2003 with Hellmuth and Kumar.

[TimTimSalabim]

I"m hoping that CHampionship at the Plaza will be new (part 2) tonight. Starts at 6 here.

[TimTimSalabim]

It is indeed a new episode. Daniel Negreanu and Annie Duke at the same table. That should be interesting.

[MicroBob]

yeah...i'm enjoying this one as well.

brand spanking new show.....
and pretty decent analysis from lederer and koenig.

[MicroBob]

one thing i noticed.

they are down to 30 players now....but the tables are not full.
they appear to have 6 players on the 'featured' table. and they may have only 5 since someone was just eliminated (i didn't see anyone added).

if this a 6-max table tourney or something??

obviously with 32 players you would expect 4 tables of 8.
with 30 players you would expect 3 tables of 10.

[MicroBob]

and now Mike Sexton is playing at the featured-table.

Cool!!

[TimTimSalabim]

Yes, it's a 6-max once they got to 36.

I thought it was interesting the comment that the announcer made about Annie and Daniel not talking to each other after the one hand where Daniel semibluffed her. Apparently he didn't notice that they never talked to each other!
