Title: ESPN/WSOP
Post by: 77dave on July 18, 2008, 05:11:21 PM
ESPN have started advertising the WSOP.

The shows start this Tuesday and is on weekly from there.

The line they keep using is the WSOP where any average joe could become a millionaire.

I dont think event 1 was a tv table so this Tuesday may be the James Aikenhead final.

No its part one and part two of the 10K Buy-In Pot-Limit Holdem Championship, I think the $1500 No Limit will be episodes 3 and 4.

2 hands from heads up when it lasted 2 hrs....very poor

agree cambo they edit way to much and fill it with junk, they could have saved us twenty minutes by cutting out hellmuth constantly slapping the table and maybe showed us four or five hands HU!

ESPN do this all the time, its rubbish. I've read a few reports from this final and they say Akenhead was outplaying Hinkle until the brutalness of the defining hand. I really wanted to see that, I wanted the coverage to show a brit hammering a yank!

Awesome showing from him though!
