Why did daniel and TJ agree to do it?

[/ QUOTE ]

Because they didn't read the script?

[/ QUOTE ]

A script supposedly helped out by Eric Seidel, lol. If Seidel really had much of a say in this, he should be ashamed.

What really bothers me is that everyone organizes their chips in stacks of 5 so that when they push all-in they use both hands to push their 12 inch long row of mini-stacks in the middle [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]

The part of the show I enjoyed was when they showed Mike Matusow with the Raymer classes on and he says "I love it, yeahhhh baaaabbby!" that was classic.

Why does ESPN dedicate two hours to this event, yet only one hour to last year's main event final table?

[/ QUOTE ]

This is the transcript for the final table, there were 113 hands,

I had forgotten about this hand:

Matthias Andersson eliminated in 8th by Greg Raymer.
Hand #7, Harrington's button. Andersson moves all in from under the gun for $670,000, and Raymer calls. Andersson has Ad Ks, Raymer has As 10d. The board comes Qc 7c 9h Js 8s. The eight spikes on the river, giving Raymer a straight. Raymer immediately jumps up and yells, "DAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!".

Ok, I’m a tard, What’s a circuit event?

[Quicksilvre]

ESPN and Harrah's are trying to cash off on the WSOP by holding $10,000 NLH events in (I think) Vegas, Atlantic City, San Diego, New Orleans, and Lake Tahoe. Basically, it's a mini-WPT with the WSOP name slapped on.

That's definitely not what Harrah's is intending. I'm sure they expect the tournaments to eventually be bigger than the WPT.

However, the WPT very wisely have locked up certain casinos. I believe places like the Bellagio, Commerce, and Foxwoods can't hold TV tournaments which would be aired by anybody but the WPT.
