First of all. goooooooooooooo the Camel.

I've seen some funny stuff from TV crews, having once full on been twatted in the face when a dealer announced 'all in and a call' and the posse of what must have been former documentary makers sprinted over to the table like keystone cops oblivious to those in front of them.

Worst thing I have seen was deffo the first WSOPE when a player was away from the table and a director thought it would make a great shot for a cameraman to sit in his sit and get a still shot of the players chips. The player couldnt get sat down and ended up having his hand declared dead in the blinds.

I think perhaps the biggest issue, and this was prevalent in the WHUPC thread, is that there seems to be a really strong assumption that we should all be delighted that the camera crews are there and more than happy to be paying for them with our rake, that they are doing us a big favour and we need them more than they need us etc.

gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Camel

...

Before play began, by the way, ALL players were instructed that ANY Logos on Hats MUST be removed, or Taped Over. And the Tourney was delayed 20 minutes whilst the Logo Police checked every player.

...

What would/could they do if you refused?

Hopefully all the bad luck I've had this week is counterbalanced by good luck for you!

They would not be allowed to play, presumably, & I imagine it was in the T & C's that are stuffed under evey players noses on Day one with the instruction "you have to sign this".

Poker players will, however, always accept this sort of nonsense, & so it will continue.

Anyway, go our Boys! And Doyle!

That would be an UNREAL FT lineup!  Not a fan of the Devilfish, but would be great to see any of the rest do well.

See Teddys still in, does he play a lot? Has anyone played with him?

Yeah he plays a lot. Can be seen at the Vic/Equal chance quite often playing cash etc
