Got a chance to watch if from start to finish....Well almost.

Started watching this around 5PM this afternoon. Got through about 10 hours of great poker/entraining broadcasting... Then the last hour and a half were unwatchable. The video was constantly freezing and I'd have to refresh the page. Then I'd try to drag the bar back to the position were it froze and it would just start from the beginning. I was livid. Eventually I just said **** it and fast forwarded it to the last 15 minutes. Of course it took me 40 minutes to watch those last 15 minutes as I had to deal with the same bull.

It was almost certainlly on their end too. It was 4AM EST so it wasn't a traffic issue. I had watched 10 hours on my network and didn't have one issue so I don't think my network just stopped working. I even tried on my desktop (using ethernet) and had crappy video.

As for you folks out side the USA who couldn't watch this: I'm sorry for you, thats just brutal and something should have been done for you guys.

As for the guy who said next year's FT well be live on ESPN, I really hope you are right.

Over all, A lot of good poker that was ruined by crappy technology for me.

That is the rally chant for the Montreal Canadiens.

What would happen for the final 2 broadcast if the heads up only lasted like say less than 10 hands and it went quickly?

I had a freezing problem watching the replay during the day and had to refresh also, but by 10:30 p.m. I was able to watch pretty much without problem, only a little bit of freezing as I got closer to the end.

yup that's 8 30 pm pacific time (las vegas time zone) so I guess they figure its not going to take long..like 4 hands LOL.

Yep

I watched it start to finish on Xbox Live ESPN3. Worked flawlessly.

Best day of poker ever IMO. The broadcast was so terrific, as was the action. Announcers were awesome, even loudmouth Phil was enjoyable (LOL at thinking Racener could play a JJ type hand at the end there, how the F did he ever get 11 holdem bracelets???).

Tonight won't be anywhere near as good, but I can't stand HU play so I'm biased.

DO you guys know where I could watch it tonight ? I'm from Canada...

He's a smart guy who made a poor play. Call it what you want.
