Phil Helmuth goin' for it AGAIN!!

[Poker Orifice]

please loose...I wanna see an epic blow up..and I dont wanna see him brag for years to come.

Then you'll probably like "the ol' Jack deuce" hand played on Final Table bubble (see screenshot below). Personally I like Phil but also like watching him blow up on the tables for some sick reason

I know he's a guy you love to hate but for some reason I find myself always pulling for him. Goodluck

I'm usually cheering for him too (depends on who else is on the table but for the most part I'm cheerin' for the Poker Brat)

Final table to be broadcast live and unedited tonight on ESPN3 at 6PM EST.

Thanks for the live broadcast link.
Here's the final 9 chipcounts & also a hand played on final table bubble.

They've been showing live stream vid. of all the final tables here http://www.wsop.com/2011/live-video/default.aspx?TID=11441

It's been pushed back to 7pm EST.

WSOP Update: The start time of tonight's coverage of the World Series of Poker $50,000 Poker Players Championship has been pushed back to 7pm ET

Also, Hellmuth had tweeted earlier that it would be on ESPN2 but I expect he was confused or it was a typo.

This kind of sux. Who's playing, and why don't they show anybody's hole cards?

lol because someone railing could give info to their friend at the table instantly

 

[F4STFORW4RD]

He's a bit like the poker version of John McEnroe

 

[pcgnome]

So they could ban allowing any electronics into the room. This about the most boring live event I've ever seen in my life. I mean who's winning these hands? Just not enough info.

Ban all electronics in the room? So then how are the poker media sites going to report on what's happening?

 

[pcgnome]

I meant to ban any railers from bringing any electronics in the room. Maybe someday somebody will figuire out some way to do it. It's prob'ly better just to follow the updates on twittter.

 

[onemorechance]

There's no way to do it at all, the only way to have hole cards in a 'live' stream is to have some sort of significant delay or people will find a way to relay information quickly to players at the table

Two completely separate broadcast sources. The hole card cams are monitored by the ESPN crew that are sequestered out in the production van. They are edited into the ESPN broadcast. The live streams from within the casino are usually run by the casino itself or some other media company they bring in to do it. Lots of casinos stream their events, but none with hole cards for all the reasons mentioned.

Speaking of, it's 7:10pm EDT and I still get the "Please stand by. Your event is about to begin" message on ESPN3...

 

[pcgnome]

I thought so . The final table is about to start. I'm at the final table of a deepstack Rise poker donkament 3rd out of 6 w/over 25K. Anybody want to wish me luck? lol.
By the way can anybody please tell me what the link to ESPN 3 is? Thanx

 

[dmorris68]

Just started now at 7:20 on ESPN3. URL is http://www.espn3.com but your ISP has to have a license to broadcast it, so may not be available to everyone. My ISP just licensed it several months ago.

Oh, and GL pcgnome.

And I guess since this is "live" we're not getting hole cards either on the first hand, even though they have the hole card graphics up. Maybe they don't have the hole card cams patched in yet, or require a delay due to the aforementioned cheating potential.

And the dealer on the 2nd hand just told them to hold their cards up to the camera, but they still aren't showing them.

 

[pcgnome]

Thanx, but I already found it on twitter. It seems I have to pay for it, but I just got quads for the second time in one tourney!

 

[dmorris68]

It just occurred to me that the 20 minute late start of the broadcast might have been to create the delay for the hole card cams. So they may just be having some technical issues with broadcasting them.

EDIT: Guess not, since the announcer just said "we're live which is why you don't see the hole cards." So I guess the hole cards will show on a later rebroadcast.
