[Marky147]

Always 1/2 games running @ Nugget during WSOP.

Some play big too every now n again

Unlimited sit down, so always going to happen at times.

Might bring $207 to the table and sit deep.

I'll be 6 drinks deep at the bar.

Poker fans used to have to wait until August to start watching World Series of Poker coverage on ESPN and for the last nine years have had to wait until November to see a new world champion crowned. That's not the case anymore.

As part of a groundbreaking announcement made Monday morning, PokerCentral has become the owner of the global television and digital media rights for the WSOP and has partnered with ESPN to bring the WSOP broadcasts into a more modern era.

ESPN will broadcast roughly 40 hours of coverage of the WSOP Main Event on a 30-minute delay, including full coverage of the final table from July 20 - 22. The shows will be split between ESPN and ESPN2.

I care more about if the final table streams are going to be the same? With Tuchman and Nick Shulman?

[The Camel]

No more farce of players being trained before the final.

Has to be a good thing, although would prefer no rest days before the final/

Good.  A decision that's been long overdue, IMO.  It had pretty much killed my interest in the event as a spectacle.

Agree with this good move also pleased to see PokerNews has the live updates back too

Ones with Nick S, and Brian Rast are by far the best of all.

Russ Fox a federally licensed tax professional from Las Vegas claims that the RIO will not be issuing ITIM's as they are not permitted to and that their original tweet regarding this would have been before they were informed.

If your ITIM is still valid then it means nothing. However, there seems to be no information on what the validity window is.

[tonytats]

I got one in 2010
The Rio applied for another 4? Years later I got a chinny letter from the IRS saying I had one !
Are they not a lifetime number

[Marky147]

I got one in 2006, so hopefully that's still valid
