There's a possibility the amount of tv programming will be increased. That schedule, posted above, is tentative.

The format will be similar to what you've seen on tv already, with a few differences. There will be "featured" tables, and those tables will get more tv time than other tables. But, when there's a big hand at a "non-featured" table, expect NBC to cover it and put it on the broadcast.

The initial matchups will be determined by lottery on Friday night, so it is impossible to know what will be featured. Regardless of how the matchups go, with this field, it will be hard to pick the top two or three matchups.

Will this be single-elimination preliminary matches?

Preliminary matches (everything other than the final) will be single elimination. With TC 20,000 and blinds starting at 50/100, the result should not be a crapshoot. The stacks are pretty deep and the blinds don't increase too rapidly. The final will be 2 out of 3.

One request is to put all of it on a set of DVD's and sell it for about 100 bucks. I'll be first in line to buy it.

I'll second that request, but no way would I pay $100 for 5 hours of TV coverage.

Ya I agree....Could you imagine if they had 100 hours of this on DVD? I keep waiting for the WSOP to have a TOTALLY unedited deal like this. I understand initially at the WSOP there are hundreds of tables that don't have the cameras on em though.

But if each one of those heads up matches took a couple hours....WOW that would be a lot of poker my wife would have to sweat with me.

I think he meant every hand of every match, in which case I'd definitely shell out lots of cash to get it.

Insane roster, only 4 hours of coverage? The question you should be asking is why isn't the coverage at least doubled.

Could you imagine trying to seed this field? In fact, maybe seeding the field would make some of the bigger Pros take it more seriously.
