\"Official\" WSOP ME Broadcast on ESPN Thread (Day 1)
 

This thread's dedicated to the first two hours of the ESPN broadcast of the 2006 World Series of Poker Main Event starting at 8pm ET. This thread will cover the first two hours, covering all 4 day 1's. I expect there will be quite a few threads that get started at WSOP Discussion that will either get moved here or locked there. Discussion of the broadcast should be held in this thread, at least for tonight's airing. Other posts that get started probably will get locked tonight, so be aware of that possibility.

Edit for title change.

Dear Randy Jensen,

The reason you never make it beyond day 1 is because you think 3-barreling QJ is +EV.

Pre-registration already for 2007? Nice to see they're not wasting the players' money by using the same main commercial for 2 years.

So ESPN had a camera guy out there just to sit out in the vegas heat and wait to get the shot of Phil Hellmuth walking out of his limo to enter the Rio. Perfect.

Did they just change the date at the bottom of that commercial? Classy.

That same cameraman also usually films Mr. McMahon arriving at the arena.

uhm, Phil, that's a pretty standard fold of JJ there. Don't pat yourself on the back too much.

But, he lost just T950 with KK vs. AA.

The kid is ticked off at how little he got out of Phil.

Maybe the kid should have played his AA better than that. Calling ~400, check, check, bet $500, what kind of play is that?
