And it's headsup, Jaime and Paul.

And the commentators are starting to lay into Paul's passiveness.

Have to say the honesty thing with Jamie was VERY smart at the end. My guess is that the two big HU pots (last one and the one other one where he was goading for a call) he had it and was using the honesty thing to try to get a call.

Out of the last three Gold deserved it. The other two looked lost where he had total control.

Does the Bodog.net hat mean that PokerStars are going to break their streak of WSOP champions???

i wasnt watching the cast, but from what you guys told me this guy jamie gold was a real annoying piece of work. from what his mother was shouting from the stands and all. nonetheless as lucky as this guy got throughout, he still had to have played some great poker.

i really wanted allen to take it.. but 3.2 mil for being fourth place in anything is outstanding... congrats to all

I wasn't watching either, only read about it through various blogs and the like. For those who watched, is Gold as bad, as lucky, and as much of a jerk as some are saying?

Well, the bought Hachem last year (he didn't qualify through Stars), so who's to say they won't buy Gold this year? Depends on what Gold signed with Bodog, if anything.

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.

Default 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.

If I had the 2 days off or whatever I would pay the $30, I just really really enjoyed watching it, when I had to go to bed and then work in the morning I was really bummed out. It was fun trying to figure out what they were doing in each hand.

But $15 sounds nicer to me also

He basically owned the entire final table. There's really not much that you could say negatively about the way he played throughout the last days of the tournament.
