By the way, according to taopoker.blogspot.com, they've changed the ESPN feature table again, and Luske is still there! According to Card Player, it's not helping much, he's only at about 13k.

I played on the ESPN feature table for around 4 hours. At the break the tournament officials told us we were moving to
the TV table. I vehemently protested to no avail. The only reason our table was moved was because Phil Helmuth
was the key player. I thought being on the TV table was
a big disadvantage for me personally. I had to sign a bunch
of papers for ESPN, I had to change shirts because my shirt
had PokerStars.com on it, and I had to wear a microphone.
I also was told at least a dozen times to move my chips because they were blocking the cameras on the table. I did
not mind the crowd, but I hated the hot bright lights shining on me. It was hot in the tournament area to begin with and it must have been 20 degrees hotter with the lights. We also started about ten minutes late, because
we had to sign papers for ESPN and be hooked up with the mikes.

The tables are populated randomly, but of course, they pick which one will be the TV table based on who is there.

When they need to fill a seat, they high card for it at the next table to break.
