Well it says on WSOP.com
The surviving players return tomorrow at 4 p.m. PST and play on a live-stream hosted by PokerGO until a champion is crowned.
So it looks like Mr/Ms PokerGo listened [?] / acted on my/our comments

We did look at a stripped-down version of a stream that could possibly go on YouTube, but unfortunately we couldn't make it work for this WSOP.
This was the response to my question about showing the 10k Omaha 8/B final if PH got there.
It sounds like they have moved the final table to the Thunderdome. Not sure if that affects the HU 25k event #11
The PH final table starts 4pm PST, the HU coverage is due to start at 8pm ET
I think that means PH final has an hour before the HU should start?
Maybe they will play out the final table and then move the HU to the 'featured' table to take over?
As PH is the shortest stack he may be bust quite soon.
Anyway, it seems like PokerGo have confirmed they are showing the 10k Omaha Final Table now.
Which is great.
It's very tough in TV/set up to be flexible - and it's nice to know that they will put in a lot of effort, in cases like this, to try and make it happen.
I do think showing just the final 5 [FT] is poor... I'm sure it's to make it easier on the commentators and viewers. But I don't like that decsion. And a lot of their viewers may have come to watch the FTs because of someone who gets knocked out 9 to 6 - and then they stay to support someone they didn't know about before. So, it's likely to hurt numbers...
Anyway - this quickly turned into a dissertation
