[ ] Large sample size.
[x] Northern Ireland and Ireland are pretty much the same thing and the only real difference is they double their chances during World Cup soccer. Also, I am ignorant to the social geographical differences and I don't care.

So if a shortstack doubles through him, he'll know how to play ketchup.

In for todays action...

pretty much this! +1

btw: does anyone know if the stream continues until we have the November 9? Or is there a set time when the stream will end (no matter if there are 10 people left and the shortstack moved all in from UTG lol)?

No, it's not for US viewers only. At least it worked yesterday here in the Czech republic.

O'Dea all the way, he won the ECOOP ME for +$300k after falling asleep and waking up with 3bbs

If Devo makes the N9, he should get there early and make some cool tower with his chip stack.

There a talented bunch over there at ESPN. LOL I'm looking forward to it. Looking for Collins and Lamb at the FT

sad to see Doc and the Mrs. go, but very happy to see Lamb, Collins and Devo still in! Wouldnt mind seeing Bonding make the N9

Don't know how ppl are saying it's going to be boring, we've seen some AWESOME play so far. Way more interesting than some 'big-name pro' like Mizrachi donking around. Rooting for USCPhildo, the two Russians, Lars Bonding, Lamb and Heinz to FT.

Ppl might not know Kenny Shih but I know him IRL and he's a really great guy, hope he FTs.

Finally, I think O'Dea is a fantastic story for ESPN - his father, Donnacha O'Dea is a really well known Irish pro who made the ME final table TWICE, back when Mcevoy and Daugherty won, so for his son to make it too would be a very cool story.

Also, does anyone know if Holden is the son of Anthony Holden, author of seminal poker book Big Deal?

The wife and the husband, are they still there?

no and fyp

When it comes to golf it's Ireland Im afraid. Nice try though

GL to everyone left!

anyone have todays schedule? is it 3pm est?

go benba, phildo, devo!

How long until it starts today?

I think devo's getting worked hard today...

Current TV sked: ESPN3 12p-4:30p, ESPN/ESPN3 5-7p PT, ESPN2/3 9p-conclusion

this, im not on the same time zone as many of you. And too lazy for maths

1.5 hours til you can see anything on ESPN3

Serious? Pretty sick if true.

I would pay money to get Johnny Chan back in the booth with Phil today. At least enough to cover his wagers.

I'm with you on that one.

I don't know most these players but even the players I had never seen before played some really creative and aggressive poker and really put themselves in these really difficult and marginal spots and, nevertheless, made some really great folds, too.

Please don't. The main WSOP broadcasts are already borderline ******ed with Norm, Lon, Jason Alexander, Brad Garrett and 10 stories about people with cancer. Can we have a few hours of WSOP coverage a year with real poker (and not 90% pf all-ins) and spot on analysis?

Hoping for Tuchman and Busquet in the booth.

you donks, its tuch and olivier during the afternoon when only the nerds are watching. Then when all the blue collar fish get home they switch to lon and phil. ESPN knows whats up.
