Default Poker Superstars III 5/14 Handling commercials

Watching the May 14th edition of PS3 and noticed an interesting error by commentator Howard Lederer and the percentages listed. On my TIVO it lists this hand starts about 28 min. Blinds are at 15k/30k and
Mike Matusow 10H-10D. Raises to 90,000
Barry Greeenstien Kc-7c Folds
Gus Hanson Ac-5c Goes all in
Eli Elezra Ad-10s Folds

Matusow calls putting him all in

Now PS3 goes to commercial.

The show returns. Chris Rose explains what’s going on then they show the flop.
Then we get this
Rose: Hanson has Matusow covered. The flop six queen eight
Lederer: Fantastic flop
Rose: All hearts.
Lederer: Fantastic flop for Matusow. Hanson down to two outs in the deck right now. The two Aces that are not a heart.

And the percentages on the screen reflect this by listing Hanson at 8% and Matusow 92%

But since Elezra had the Ad, Hansen was down to one out. (the As)

So does FSN require the action to be stopped when an all in has occurred? Allowing Chris Rose to send them to commercial and then have him do the update for when they return from commercial. So that by that time Lederer had forgotten about Elezra’s Ad and was just going by the outs indicated by the percentages being listed.
Also if they are not going back latter and adding in the comments for going to and from commercial, Are the player having to wait an unusual amount of time (two or more minutes) to see the rest of the hand being played?
magine the torture that Matusow goes through.

Commentary is added in afterwords. It's called editing. You dont have 2 commentators sitting there while the show is going on. Most poker shows never account for what was in another person's hand when they do %'s.
