Pretty cool factoid I came across on Twitter about Loren Klein in today's Event #2 FT.
(@HoldemMedia)
Only 5 players stand between @lorenkln and his 4th consecutive year with a @WSOP bracelet - no one has won a bracelet in 4 straight years in the last 40 years. Last to do so was a guy named @texdolly - only he and Bill Boyd have ever done this.
How many times this has been done, per decade
‘70s = 2 (Boyd ‘75-78; Doyle ‘76-79)
‘80s = 0
‘90s = 0
‘00s = 0
‘10s = @lorenkln only one who can
wow im a pretty big poker fan and I dont even know who that is..I guess im not as big of a poker fanatic as I thought

Just to clarify: U.S. fans can still watch the designated events on PokerGo, correct? I see the upcoming FTs on the site, which suggests that I can. Just want to make sure I won't be blacked out or something like that.
I don’t think all of the final tables are on PokerGO but not positive.
I have both PokerGO and I already have cbs all access though. If they plan on playing down to 6 before they show us the final tables I will cancel pokergo though. Hopefully it’s just for the first 2 tourneys but if not I’m done with them.
The 1500 o8 final table streams tomorrow and they’re still playing and down to 9. The 50k is supposed to be streamed the next day and they’re already down to 18. If they’re going to show all these final tables 6 handed and they’re only going to last 2 hours or so it’s a big downgrade from last years coverage and I won’t be renewing PokerGO next month. The poker masters (I think it was Poker masters it could’ve been a different high roller series) coverage was a joke. Every stream was a 10-15 bb shove fest.

+1
The apparent loss of all pre-six handed content is a major step backward for the big poker fan.
Wish I shared your optimism, Pete. The published schedule for streaming over PokerGo and CBS All Access (for the US) indicates nothing but final table broadcasts, with the possible exception of a pre-final day for the Poker Player's Championship, which might still be only final table coverage. It's only the ESPN coverage of the Main that plans to cover an event during the early, middle, bubble, and pre-final table stages. For the rest? It's looking like WPT2.0 type coverage.
I thought your concern was the 6 handed, therefore shorter FT coverage.
Apart from the HU, they’ve never streamed non FT content outside of the ME, have they?
