Title says most of it. There is a catch though. ESPN is airing the first 4 of the 8 hours they've got for the first time this Sunday, right during the Super Bowl. Whoever fronted that idea must want it to tank in ratings. I'm not much of a football fan so I may be watching the WSOPE, but I'm in the incredibly small minority. And while they will still need to air the other 4 hours and they will rerun them all a couple times, I still don't know why you would want to start airing when practically nobody will watch. Anyway, full article here: http://www.cardplayer.com/poker-news/article/6017/pokers-annette-obrestad-featured-in-wsope-coverage.

No chance I will be watching this the first time around because of the SB but also because they will show they ALOT more in the next month if I know ESPN right...but agreed horrible idea for start date.
