Finally, after several weeks of old re-runs, Challenge is starting the 2004 WSOP broadcasts from Sunday (19th September).

Soon, we might have a clue what all the posts on this forum are talking about! [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Hi Sheriff,

Do you know if they are showing all the shows (Razz, Stud...) or just the main event?

The ad shows scenes from the $1k rebuy event, so I'm guessing they're showing at least some of the earlier events, if not all of them.

I think the ad referred to 'wider coverage' or 'extended coverage' (or something similar) and included shots of James Vogl so I think we're getting the whole thing.

I'm looking forward to the other events. It should at least stop my girlfriend screaming at the TV every time a 'how to play No-Limit Holdem' piece comes on!

I assumed it was starting soon with all the reruns.

I think the VC cup starts later this month as well, so we are being treated quite well with the Heads Up show ands the not so good gaming club one.

The heads up programme shows how bad and amatuarish the Gaming club one has been, although I did enjoy last weeks commentary from Hellmuth (except for him saying "let me tell you somthing" before every sentence) he brought a good insight to the game.

There's a post in the NVG forum that the European Poker Championship (not sure what this is?) is being televised on Channel 5. Wow, poker on terrestrial TV again.

Also the European Poker Tour is currently being filmed, it seems to be similar to the WPT, but based in Europe (d'er) and with smaller buy-ins.

I thought Lucy Rokash's commentary was good this week. Paul 'Dot Com' Phillips is also doing a surprisingly good job on the Heads Up shows.

I havent watched it yet its Sky+'ed along with the heads up stuff, I think she used to commentate on LNP and she has a nasally voice that gets on my nerves.

May I ask why that sentence includes that particular adverb?
