It sucks that they only show non-final table play for the main event.

Final tables have a tendency to become coin flip shove fests and projects a warped image of what tournament poker is like.

Probably a good reason why internet play is so bad since a lot of people learn their "skills" from watching poker on TV.

At least the final table of the HORSE event this year is actually HORSE.

I think it would be cool to see some of the other events get a 1 hour timeslot as well. Things like the casino employee event on June 1 and the 2-7 Triple Draw Lowball event being a couple I'd like to see.

While hardcore poker fans would enjoy that, the masses would not. The Casnio employees would not be watched because it's no names. The 2-7 Triple Draw would be cool with hole cams, but I watched it live last year, and it's like watching paint dry.

No kidding, probably why I see people reraising a reraise with pocket 3's (saw this last night) and people shoving from UTG with Ax offsuit (also saw this last night).

I agree. What I'd also like to see is ESPN start showing position and stack sizes in addition to the hole cards.

Couldn't be happier about the HORSE coverage, I'd rather watch that than the main event.

I'm really glad to see Phil Hellmuth win agian, and even more excited that they WILL NOT be airing it!!! I really don't want to see that cry baby brag about how he is the "Best Holdem Player in the Universe!!!" Even though he won so far back that no body cares lol, and he isn't half as good as half of the legends out there.

Sorry, I just really can't stand this wiener, oh I mean winner!!

With 11 bracelets to his name, all in HE events, he's got a case. Love him or hate him, Phil can play tourney hold 'em.
