WSOP Day 3: "Official" News, Results, and Discussion

[SoftcoreRevolt]

Sammy moves all-in. While his opponent contemplates a call, he asks Farha how much he has left. Farha answers "700,000, but I could be off a bit." The player folds. Farha's chip stack actually sat at $18,000.

ESPN or Harrahs isn't going to spend a fortune upgrading the tournement equipment only to have the poker bubble bust in a year or two then be stuck with 200 fancy poker tables they can't use anymore.

It should be noted that ESPN's contract expires with the 2005 WSOP. Harrah's will be getting a big influx of money from whatever cable channel signs a multi-year contract for broadcast rights in the future.

ESPN picked up the option and will air the WSOP through 2007. From what I read, Harrah's was looking for $10m/year.

Is this an angle shot? [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] Seems a little dubious to me. Granted the other guy is a dumbass for believing him.... still.

Um, I'm sure his opponent knew he was a low stack.
