So about 15-1 to take it down. Gogogogogogogogogogo.

thing is u gotta take everything into account
- his form
- his opponents
- how deep stacks are
- seating positions

15-1 jus sounds a bit too high

Yea, but the relative positions of the players would be interesting.

Were Eastgate, Schwartz, Phillips, etc. near the top of the heap at this point last year?

This has been mentioned I think, but if they're gonna wait months only to broadcast a condensed final table a day later when the real fans already know who won, why not let the real fans watch it live? (And make some extra money from us in the process).

What website are you guys using to keep up? Sebok is twittering faster than WSOP.com is updating, which is pretty pathetic.

*Begin fanboyism* Ever since Moneymaker took out Ivey back in the 2003 WSOP (luckily), I've said Ivey deserves to win. Not only for that reason of course, Ivey is a great Poker player definitely one of the best. Good to see he's doing well! *end fanboyism*

Crazy that Eastgate got into the top 100 this year, good job to him.

I know nothing about this Darvin Moon guy, but I just have this sick feeling that we're going to see him bleed off a ton of chips and spew his way out of the tourney before the final 9 is set.

I doubt this will taint their "Final Table for Dummies" broadcast.

as far as im concerned, its going to be live. i used to have to work during football games so i'd tape the game to watch when i got home and i developed a skill at avoiding listening to convo's of people talking about the game at work. used to tilt the crap out of me when somebody would start talkin about it...i'd be like "LALALALALA" to myself pluggin my ears and what not. sometimes my boss asked me if i wanted to go home early when we were slow i'd snap call.

so i think this will be easy to pull off...just sucks its gotta be that way

I don't think ESPN made any substantial money from the 2006 and 2007 final table PPV broadcasts.

However, those two shows were the best two poker programs I've ever seen by a wide margin. The natural drama of a live Main Event final table is impossible to duplicate.

That's one lucky hand. I'm sure there were other hands where he was unlucky.

He was 2nd in chips after day 3 and he's still near the top of the leaderboard after day 6. No one else in this tourney has stayed near the top so consistently.
