GODDAMIT. Partly my fault for having not slept in awhile and making steak/eggs before naively watching SportsCenter in the morning, but still, GODDAMIT

I avoided 2p2/TV for a whole 2 days (something I dont think Ive ever done in my life, thank you very much), and hazily suspected that ESPN wouldn't release the details of the main event champion since the broadcast was on Tuesday night and they would want to hype ratings.

WRONG.

FU ESPN FOR HAVING NO GODDAM SENSE WHATSOEVER AND RUINING MY LAST DAY AND A HALF

so to summarize:

[ ] - ESPN delays their finaltable 4 months but can wait 2 days to inform the masses of who won
[ ] - ESPN uses spoiler tags
[X] - OP actually cashed in main event thus is more legit to whine since every mention of WSOP finaltable tilts him
[ ] - OP will not be getting drunk as a result of this

o well at least I spent a lot of productive time playing pokers



DIE ESPN

and, before anyone else can say it (feel free to quote)

[x] - OP is a moran for watching sportscenter

i saw that on the bottom line on espn at the gym this morning, i thought wow they're really gonna screw that up for people who have been trying to avoid it

kind of weird too as they don't have the info on their homepage for who won (clickable through a few links but not directly on homepage)

no need to avoid 2+2, i havent seen any spoilers so far

whole thread is thinly conceiled brag

this

holla

You have 18000 posts and you still watch tournaments on tv? The ones you won't be shown in? Pathetic

I saw it on PTI on Monday when they said who was in the final two, no big surprise but still pissed off because I had been avoiding NVG and BBV assuming there would be a spoiler

people really care about avoiding this thing that much?

to my knowledge they (being the general media) did a terrible job of covering this final table live. unlike the EPT broadcasts (which are excellently provided online by PokerStars and ahead of its time in some respects), the WSOP didnt rly do much of anything save a live audio feed and sh*t visuals to accompany it.

as a result of ESPN not providing a good live outlet, to get the best out of it u had to wait for the TV thing on tuesday. ESPN thus forces u to dodge spoielrs, and obviously the 1 network u wouldnt expect to display spoilers (ESPN) throws up spoielrs on PTI and sportscenter. siggghhhhh,

i agree that ESPN is utterly ******ed for doing this the way that they did it.

[ ] pic of steak and eggs.

tsn.ca just screwed me too

same exact thing happened to me. Had the tv on reasonable volume but wasnt really watching and of course it caught my attention.

not sure if it's been said but OP is a moran for watching sportscenter

.

i also tried to avoid everything, but then negreanu said who were HU in the chat at some 500/1K horse table i was railing. i glanced at the chat and saw the goods....

agreed, They want to create suspense..... wait 4 months so anticipation can build, then I see Tony K and Mike W. say "world series of poker, demidov and eastgate, who ya got"

I mean WTF

mother ****er. I use MSN.com as my homepage and guess whats there?

clayton are you on OT?

Cuz no one would ever make prop bets on such things, right? Sick burn dude

I guess I don't understand why this is a bad thing or interesting or whatever. =\

awesome
