I am not going to listen to the audio, not browsing the web just to avoid any spoilers at the day of the final table and then watch the broadcast.
First time watching a ME FT without knowing who will win. Allthough the broadcast is gonna suck like it always does it still will be exciting.

ESPN used to offer the final table live on PPV. Two years ago I bought it for something like $49.95. It went on for over twelve hours, until the wee hours. This was the year Jerry Yang won. I'd buy it again if it were available.

Hey Kevmath, any information or confirmations on a Pay-Per-View video broadcast? Or is there pretty much no hope at this point?

Harrah's exec: How do we make the biggest poker tournament as least exciting as possible?
Harrah's marketing guru: Let's have no video feed and an audio only broadcast before ESPN edits the crap out of it a couple of days later.
Exec: I like the way you think guru. Beer's on me.

f beef

Can't decide if I should live in a cave and try to watch it "live" on ESPN two days after the fact or just follow along online while it's happening.

It would be an interesting experiment for ESPN to broadcast the FT live on ESPN2 for its entire duration. Of course, that would throw a colossal monkey wrench into their neat schedule of NASCAR and billiards.

So lame. Like waiting two days to watch the Super Bowl so they can make the commentary more witty. I believe they are the Raging Cajuns.

Assume on the bluffmagazine.com front page, there'll be a link that says "click here" or similar the closer it gets to noon PT.

There was a live audio stream last year, there's a live audio stream this year. The reason why there's no PPV video stream the past two years is that there weren't enough people buying it, along with the strong possibility of people getting the PPV stream for free.
