This is ESPN. They want more than 2000 people who actually know all these games to watch. I hear all this bitching about another NLHE FT, but try to imagine how hard it would be to make decent coverage for the average Joe where you constantly skips hands and no two consecutive hands are the same game. Just try to explain Stud 8 or O8 to some casual pokerplayer, then imagine the douches that announce this crap trying to do the same. It would never work. The show isn't just for us, they want more than a couple of thousand viewers.
