20 bucks says he told ESPN WHEN he was arriving so when he pulled up in the limo, they were there with the cameras.

hmmm, 1:1? I don't think I'd take it, too much of a chance on your side. Gimmie 3:2 though and I'd bet that ESPN had a crew outside waiting for "The Phil" without any input on his part.

There's no way they just happened to be waiting there.

ESPN asked Phil when and where he was going to arrive...or Phil just told them, "Hey...you guys might want to bring your cameras to this spot and this time."


It was about 115 degrees outside that day (I'm not exaggerating, that was the high temp) and they wouldn't have left a camera out there just for the hell of it.

ESPN cameras were running around trying to catch anything interesting on about 170 different tables...so it's not like they actually had a lot of extra cameras/people to spare.



FWIW - I was at Johnny chan's table and he showed up about 40 minutes late.
I saw a pic of him in some magazine (Bluff or All-in or one of those) of him with a group of people at some restaurant 'the night before the WSOP'. He was wearing the exact same t-shirt in that photo the night before as he was at the main-event so I'm guessing he might have stayed out kinda late the night before.

Yeah, it's kind of like World Championship Wrestling, when Arn Anderson attacked Erik Watts at a gas station, and there just "happened" to be a film crew there to capture it.

Damn you! Now I have the image of Phil in tights and I can remember far too much of his belly from the 04 US Poker Championships...

This is not applicable, since cameras followed the Four Horsemen everywhere - even into Ric Flair's hotel room after he won Precious off Jimmy Garvin.

Thanks you three for some good memories.
I once saw Kerry Von Erich beat on The One Man Gang in Bartlesville, OK. Good times.
