*** WSOP 2017 Thread *** Half Hour Stream Delay - No Spoilers - Page 18 - Poker News

Yes.

Just from the OneDrop and SHRB alone, I've probably watched ~20 hours of content. That will only increase as more events happen.

There's a lot of griping about the service and their schedule, but it's year 1 and it's a pretty good value for a poker fan like me. It will only improve as they gain more experience.

+1 really hope this works out, otherwise the poker viewing options may shrink to next to nothing

Nobody is opting for this, apart from the WSOP.
Remember, Caesars have been looking to cut costs for years. The live stream cost them a chunk but earned them nothing.
When a third party offers money to take over, of course Caesars agree to it.

I wouldn't. But that's not the choice I'm getting.

Also much preferred Tuck wearing a hoody in a dark booth commentating, rather than Lon and Norm. Now Tuck's at the analysis desk wearing vests and bowties n ****. The broadcasts have a much more formal/professional feel to them this year and I'm not really a fan.

Yeah I mean I'm a fan of tuck but he always striked me as the laid back let's grab a beer and chat type.

Still enjoy listening and watching but I much prefer his UTG podcast and last years commentary to this but on the bright side it's nice to see him get exciting new opportunities.

Looks like the douche poker looks come out for the 10k HU.

Just look at Ryan Fee and Chance Kornuth. And then Chance's opponent is the give no ****s John Smith, so much baller than Chance.

I do wish they covered more events. I would like to see every final table covered.
That would make it an excellent product with tons of value.

I'm looking forward to seeing John Smith again.
There was a great old circuit event from about 2005 that he won, back when they used to televise them. Construction worker, from memory.

Edit: Whoops. Turns out you meant Dan, not John

Just saw Qui Nguyen walking around the pavilion room. So he is still alive. Has he entered any events?

He's been mentioned in the pokernews coverage of at least one event so far.

Is Dan Smith a Kevin Hart type midget? He looks very small.

I've been behind him in a line at the Rio and I'd say he's around 5'8.
His arrogance makes him feel about 6'5 though.

I googled his name after you mentioned him. I completely forgot this guy won the main event. Has to be the least memorable main event winner in recent memory

Quite sure the answer is no. He has said in the past year that he believes it's likely he'll never work at the WSOP agian.

Final 8 bracket up for $10k HU, should be pretty epic. Who are the favors and who are people rooting for?

Hope you didn't just tell us that the match on stream will end within 30 minutes....

(Though I guess it's extremely unlikely to think it'll last longer than that anyway)
