I think it would be interesting to get some of the poker players to join in the number two seat to comment on the events. There are many poker players (similar to the poker corner show) that have the edgy personality to make it MORE fun to watch. Since the commentary is taped long after the events, there is no reason someone who played in the event couldn't comment on it.
Sports usually does this with retired players, coaches. But noone retires in poker really.
Anyways what would be more fun to watch than Phil H. commentating his exit from every event. And if Dave Foley can do it drunk off his ass every week, it can't be too hard
