If the first event (dealer tourney) is any indication 2012 was 732 entrants while this year has 892.

It will be interesting to see what impact the Asia Millions and the ISPT has on the field sizes...Asia Millions in particular looks problematic.

If I've gathered it correctly, it looks like ESPN3 will be streaming most if not all of the bracelet event final tables live this year? And not just the static camera with no commentary coverage that's been hosted by WSOP.com in the recent past, but actual coverage with production and commentary? Is this right?

"Your event is about to begin. Please stand by." is burning into my retinas.
How long of a delay is there supposed to be?

Looks like they're going to live stream most of the flop game's final tables with 6 cameras and commentary by david tuchman and new RFID cards instead of whole card cams. (Just saw this via wsop twitter, the employee final table live stream starts at 10:30 PST.) If there is more than 1 final table going on at the same time then they'll do a 4 camera stream with no commentary. If live cards are shown, then it's a 30 minute delay, otherwise it's a 5 minute delay.

Can't wait till the live stream starts!! Chad Holloway from pokernews.com is at the final table.

They are off to a rocky start again this year. Surprised because all the circuit streams on ESPN3 were terrific and timely. So far we've had some eliminations and two different live stream feeds not really working right.

There is supposed to be a 30 min. delay, but the ESPN3 feed on WSOP.com says event will begin shortly, but if you click on "Live" by the chip counts you get a different looking page for the live feed that just has a camera from a distance with no commentary, that then switches to color bars and says Offline.

So still
EPT>WPT>WSOP when it comes to live streaming.

wont even work for me as I keep getting "Runtime Error" when I click on the link. I agree with Ramon that the EPT has the best Live Streaming there is.

Tuck on Sports tweeted that stream to begin at 1030 PM. It's 1032 right now, but could be any minute, but I have my doubts.

For those wondering... the WSOP live stream is down for now. Tech difficulties. I'll be on if we get it running.

...on a side note, does this thread now qualify to be merged with the "Welcome to the World Series of Whining" one?

Phil Hellmuth Jr, master of the short stack:

Antonio Esfandiari opened to 5,000 on the button, and Phil Hellmuth called in the big blind, only leaving a few thousand behind. The flop fell Qs8d6h, Hellmuth shoved, and being pot committed, Esfandiari called.

Esfandiari: Ts9c
Hellmuth: 5d4d

Esfandiari only had ten-high, but it held up when the turn and river bricked Kh, 8c respectively. Hellmuth finished just short of the money, while Esfandiari has 50,000 chips.

ESPN3 feed says "Thank you for watching."

Well, you're welcome, I guess.

Probably gave up for the night.

WSOP ‏@wsop 1m
Because of an unexpected power outage, we are going to be unable to stream the Casino Employees event tonight. Our sincere apologies.

Good to get the gremlins out of the system early I guess, here's hoping the power works OK tomorrow
