Likewise.
But 10th would be pretty painful. Bubbling the Final Table of the Main Event..... ugh! Don't get me wrong, I'd still take it, but 9th would be SO MUCH better. |

Thanks ESPN
Most have been an interesting morning in Bristol or wherever ...
Guy in charge of the web cast: Wow! We had an unbelievable number of people tune in last night! Our logs show tens of thousands of poker fans were watching for hours world wide at $25 a pop! Guy in charge of the payment process:  Uh … uh … uh ....

Quint raises a good point - the coverage was excellent! The coverage last night, WITHOUT the hole cams, was far superior to some "polished" coverage of other events in the past. Kudos to ESPN for that!

IMO, they should have aired it free - on ESPN2 or something (or at the VERY least, as a webcast) this year. When people saw how good the live coverage was, I think they'd be much more inclined to pay for it next year.
Had I not seen was I saw last night, I wouldn't have known what I was missing. It was pretty good stuff, I must say. Very well done. |

I don't think it's beyond comprehension that ESPN leaked the bug intentionally so that they could evaluate how well it may do in the future for PPV or webcast (while still making some PPV $ from the suckas to cover production costs). I don't think they'd they do it on one of their many 'free' channels as it may cut into their advertising dollars for the normal broadcast. |

I wouldn't pay $29.95 (in part because of the logistics of watching it ALL FREAKIN NIGHT), but something like $15 would certainly entice me.
