Friends,

anyone know if/when ESPN/ESPN2 will begin live coverage of the main event? i checked the broadcast schedule and don't see anything about live broadcast of the tournament before the final table...

last years coverage of the early days was pretty cool, trying to figure out if/when that's happening again

thanks

No live coverage this year until the final table.

For the record, I'll have to slay myself if there are as many adverts as there were last night before the dinner break.

Nothing til the ft? Are you sure? Last years run-up coverage seemed like a hit, dunno why they wouldn't do it again

Because they think it hurt their ESPN ratings.

Bummer.

Can we get some more info on this? If ESPN doesn't want to do it, why not a wsop.com live stream? Lots of people complained that the exposed hole cards was unfair to the amateur players, could this be why?

ESPN don't do the WSOP justice in my opinion. It would be great if it broadcast live (obv without hole cards).
