TSN WSOP Coverage - so much for the drama

I'm watching the WSOP on TSN this afternoon and they're showing the session where they play down from 27 to the final 18. Now, you're living under a rock if you don't know who won the WSOP last year, but for those who don't know, which I have to assume is a LOT of the viewers on TSN, you're tuning in to follow the action, right?

Well how do you like it when, on the second commerical break, they show a PokerStars commercial with Joe Hachem, advertising him as the 2005 WSOP champion? They had just finished showing him win a pot, and then this commerical comes on!

Awesome! Nice work TSN!

That's why you gotta Bittorrent the episodes from when they aired them months ago and you can watch them without commercials. (and months ago)

Sheik had folded his hand.
When the flop came down Sheik slammed his fist on the table.
Mike told him basically to shut his %&%(*(&^^ mouth while a hand was in play.
I have to say that I agree with Mike on this one. I'd have been swearing at him too.
Both were penalized.

I think Sheik's actions were far worse then Mike swearing at him and I'm surprised he got off with only 10 mins. I can understand Mike’s response but it was basically Sheik causing it. It's like fighting in hockey, they both get penalties for fighting but Sheik should have gotten an extra for instigating.

I was suprised too the Sheik only go 10 minutes as the instigator.

I have a suspicion that if the other player were anyone but The Mouth, the penalties may have been different.....
