Re: ESPN faked Set of Tens Laydown
Are you kidding.
When you're sitting at a table, how often do you hear people saying I folded a set..I folded this, I folded that....blah blah..how often do you think they were telling the truth?????

[/ QUOTE ] Fair enough. But when you're in your 5th-ever tournament, and you know it will be televised by freakin ESPN, you simply don't turn to one of the best poker players on the face of the Earth and sheepishly say "I think I screwed up. I laid down a set of tens," all the while looking like you're about to projectile vomit, if it DID happen, much less if it didn't. Watch it again. The guy looks sick at what he has done. That sure looked legit to me. P.S. Do you really think that ESPN would fake a hand and then ridicule the guy as they did? They were (rightfully) as tough on Reed as I've ever seen them on anybody. Have you ever seen the movie "Quiz Show?" ESPN wouldn't want Reed going all Herbie Stempel on they ass, right?

Re: ESPN faked Set of Tens Laydown
Thanks Greg - I seemed to remember someone confirming this once before, too.
It seems like most of the "faked" hands on the televised tables have turned out, after people actually do some leg work instead of making wild assumptions, to have been accurate. On the other hand, it sounds like the hands that come from the "outer tables" are a completely crapshoot - if we don't see the hands and someone makes a laydown, who knows what they had.

Re: ESPN faked Set of Tens Laydown
ESPN did not fake Tommy Reed's laydown, he even discussed his bonehead move directly after with Phil Ivey. If ESPN started faking hands don't you think some players would protest and soon it would become public knowledge that ESPN is fabricating some of it's poker coverage?
