[sketchy1]

i still agree with the principle here. espn shouldn't be doing this for "reporting." this would be akin to me asking a player later for a huge pot that i barely know what his hole cards were during an event i'm reporting at. i will do it if i know the source will be truthful. for instance, there was a huge pot between mizrachi and stolzmann in tunica before the tv final table. the flop was 6 5 2 and mizrachi had opened with 63 suited, and bet the flop. stolzmann moved in with 3 3 and mizrachi had his hand killed thinking forever. all the sites reported the hand and pokerpages had video. i asked mike what he had. had i not known him or his brothers i wouldn't have asked, but i take mike's word.

that's on a totally different scale though, from espn reporting to millions of viewers at home without even knowing for sure. espn isn't a close friend of lisandro. they have no reason to believe he's being honest.
