If I got busted by that guy (William Spadea)...I would pretty much be on life tilt. Too bad Kirk Morrison busted [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

I have to only assume he should have been up 1.5, rather than up to 1.5, but you never know with them. I guess there could have been a series of catacyclismic events that we were never told about.

What happened to Scotty in general? The site had him listed at 450,000. He was up in the 3 millions before, and they didn't report any huge blow to his stack.

It seems like after dinner every night the pokernews coverage goes from mediocre with bright spots to just plain awful. Last night I think they just quit like 30 min before the end of play, they simply stopped updating then at some point put up a "play has ended" with like 1 hand the last 45 minutes. I mean I know it's a long day, but it's not like it's hard work by most people's standards.

Who knows, it looks like he almost got felted. maybe the 2M ray just got were from him? I think I should just go over to the rio and see what the hell's up.

I'm the only guy in the world without a piece of anyone, but I like to see people win.

Here is Scotty's trendline on Poker News. I think the -3250000 should have been -325,000 which gave the $450,000 rather than $3.375m so with the $1.05m increase he should have $4.425

They do get screwed over by Harrah's though, on having enough staff and access to do a through job.

I just don't understand how the most popular player left in the field loses the biggest pot of the tournament so far and there's not even a mention of it in the reports. I mean, what the [censored] are they doing exactly? There's like 1 reporter for each table at this point, dear god.

Poker News can have as many reporters as they want. They paid for those rights through Bluff.

But, because there are just a handful of tables left, they can't flood the playing area with people. The area will get too cramped.

I wonder if ESPN will gently suggest to Spadea that shirts with sleeves are more the standard for televised poker, (please God, let him wear a shirt with sleeves!).

The hand reports for the last 30 minutes have come from 5 different people. There are 6 tables. This should be sufficient imo.
