Don't you think it would have been great if ESPN had displayed the hour and time that most of the big hands were being played?

They did this with some of the past WSOP airings. It ended with the 2002 showing. I thought it was a great feature to show that some time did lapse while playing. There are people out there that actually think all hands are shown, not just the highlights.

Yeh, showing the time would add to the drama. However, they don't want to emphasize that they condensed 14 hours into 2 hours by leaving out all the hands wherea single preflop raise took the blinds and antes. Some people don't realize it's like watching the "Baseball Tonight" version of the World Series of Baseball.
