yeah, it's awesome! the popularity will be shown long term as well, as people find out about and look for it over the next year or so.
it's a super rare and special event, and it's really incredible to be able to see it play out hand by hand. it really is the All Star Game of poker. the table with mercier, polk, robl, tollerine, rast, etc. - Jesus!
im finding the commentary very good, schulman does a great job. the pace is a bit slower and the commentary/table talk synchronicity a bit rougher than the usual edited versions, but as i said, it's super sick to be able to see the elite players play hand by hand.
also big props to them on showing stack size graphics. poker shows that don't really do themselves a disservice as you remain in the dark about the dynamics of hands as they play out. it would be cool if they showed the blinds/antes as well, but for this live format it doesn't change much so not an issue.
great stuff, thanks for putting it out there!
