So, everyone watching it? Riveting with boyfriend/girlfriend side by side...

Cheering for Sam Barnhart, John Esposito and Ben Lamb.

Watching it online, in between hands of course.

Just wish Helmuth would only talk poker. It's when he starts talking about outside activities that he gets himself into trouble and sound dumb.

Thanks for the post compuease. I didn't realize it was on.

Yep, did you see the two of them, ganging up on the rest of the table, then hugging? Atrocious I tell you...

The feature table definitely sucks in comparison to previous years. Bizarre shape too. But the edited package will be more glitzy for sure, don't forget this is essentially live.

I thought so. No hole cards, no Norm, Lon appeared to be stammering. It certainly wasn't as polished.

So, are they going to do it like last year? 27 parts or something?

what's with these guys that take forever to make a decision or get chips together to make a bet? this would drive me insane! That guy from Brazil was a little too much. Are all of these big buy-in tournaments like this?

I cheer for the stupidest possible person to win.

If someone dumber than Darvin Moon wins and starts another Moneymaker boom that's the best result.

moose · Jul 19,2011, 03:07 PM

Hole cards are mostly there.

I watched a good 20ish minutes last night when there was 12 just before the dinner break on TSN, Antonio had some actual good commentary is norman chad would STFU it would be good live stuff.

Most would find watching live poker at this level painful, actually I was sweating it out not knowing a good pot bewteen Ben lamb and someone with A2972 board with 3 hearts guy checks lamb bets 4mill into a 3.25 pot or so I didnt watch it till this point dude tanked for over 10 minutes all dead air on TSN (commentary during course), I sat through it without getting up because I WANTED TO KNOW fantastic stuff, anyway dude calls lamb flips up 32 as the caller had A9 which sucked the most Im sure if you were sitting there for 10+ and then got it wrong....but gotta say, its great stuff, how id love to have ESPN haha
