Why drop the November 9 ? From all accounts, it was hugely successful, great ratings, increased hype for the event.

I am interested in their reasoning.

BlondeFish · Jan 31,2012, 10:55 PM

Since the events can now be shown almost live with hole cards, there is no need for the long delay. The TV ratings have been dropping for the past couple of years, so ESPN will have to try something new.

Me and Comp will show up at noon for the Seniors event (it starts at 10am). Not like we play any hands anyway in the first two levels. It'll be our Helmuth moment. Just need costumes. Anyone??

Already did that 2 years ago..... well minus the cape.. Although I was only 10 min late..

You are right about playing hands in the first couple of hours though.. Folded AA 3 times preflop during that time..

Final table is just moved up to Late October. Only 3 starting days for the Main Event.

actyper · Feb 01,2012, 04:50 PM

Way better schedule for the main event, way too many off days in the past, and it just dragged on forever.
