Title: ME FT a 2 dayer
Post by: gatso on July 15, 2008, 01:54:10 PM
I missed this in all of the discussion over whether they should move the FT to November so guess others did too.

Quote
The final table has been set and will reconvene on November 9th when these nine players battle for their share of over $32 million. First they will play down until 2 remain. The final 2 will finish play on November 10th and then the event will be broadcast by ESPN on
November 11th.

Of course it will take 2 days..ESPN will slow play down sooo much that every single hand takes 20 minutes.

Would love it if the headsup was over in one hand.

Players do a chop behind closed doors and then all go in on the 1st hand blind.

Then the tournament gets forefitted and everyone has to give their winnings back.

Or it gets coaching or threatened during the 3 months?

I heard that the winners are going to get paid in installments. You get $5000 on the day and they will give you the rest sometime in Dec 2011. The handing over ceremony will be filmed live. But it will be broadcast in installments.
