Anyone plan on paying to watch the WSOP final table?

Iceman · Jul 16, 2007

I think it is around $20 on PPV. The problem is I (and most others) may not know 1 player at the table but I can promise you we will after this.

if they would make it ten minutes delayed with the hole cards it would be very exciting and watchable

I wont get it, but I have a feeling a thread will be going on here to let us know what is going on.

I would have definatly got it if Matt made it.

Phil Gordan is on commentary! No one wants to hear Phil for very long!

But I did actually get his poker DVD from blockbuster online last week. It was one of the better DVD's that I have seen. Well it was good for free anyway.

Also, you cant see the hole cards on PPV

Man i love it on espn when you see only good and exciting hands. I cant imagine sitting there for hours while blinds are being stolen. I would rather watch paint dry. That of course unless I knew someone in it.

I think that's a pretty good idea. It won't be anywhere near as exciting without the hole cards being seen.

There will be free links all over the place if anyone wants to watch this live.

Last year I listened to it on the radio. I remember going to sleep at 5 am and I woke up and the thing was still going on and far from over.

So yeah, youre right. More than one way to follow it.

Yes you will not be able to see ANY HOLE cards. Also bear in mind that on television that you dont see 95% of the hands. Also you dont have to deal with the dealer shuffling, breaks, questions and other shit on TV. But you will able to watch it free on the net, just check around

Unfortunately never going to happen.

They think people will relay to the players how people are playing.

Lee Watkinson is an established pro even though his name sounds like he's on the PGA Tour.

Alex Kravchenko won a bracelet in an earlier event this year i think and he sounds like a tennis player.

Addict101 · Jul 16, 2007

Scotty was so close in making the final table. When will a pro ever win the main event again?

would you mind pointing me in that direction? With the chip stacks pretty even i am guessing the winner won't be crowned until at least 4 or 5 AM EST.

PO69 · Jul 16, 2007

Lee Watkinson is a pro!! He has only made 2.7 million in his short career!!!

Alan Cunningham is one of the top pros in the world and he made the top 5 last year

depending what you mean by pro (not trying to start this up), I think there are a few that are on the table.

Scotty was by far the biggest name when we were down the final few tables. Too bad he didn't take it. For a while both he and Gus Hanson looked like they might sneak into the final table.

you mean people are still watching poker on TV?

If you really follow poker, then Lee Watkinson is VERY much a household name.

You cant get much bigger than Alan Cunningham last year either

Now is the time to tell us, how you and Lee Watkinson went to the same college and are related, and once had sex with each other
