The first guy that got knocked out was the best.

Yep, playing with the "predictable" Phil Ivey and Hoyt Corkins is always +EV.

i really like the coverage, but has no one else noticed how the framerate jumps to like 1.3x as people fold and they go around the table? then they cut back to 1x for normal. the sped up framerate looks very strange.

They are starting the coverage on the first day so you dont ee all in becasue there stacks are very deep in relaiton to blinds. Probably 10k chips and blinds aorund 25-50 or sumthing.

Typical lame ESPN coverage. I guess bet sizes are only important enough to mention every once in awhile.

Is Funston a joke? This guy makes watching almost unwatchable.

From what I recall, it gets even better with Funston near the bubble. Seems Haveson and Nguyen decided to skip the lessons regarding hand rankings and how to bet.

How long before Men gets his student Funston to chip dump to him?

I'm about 20 minutes behind (watching on TiVo), and this K3 hand is hilarious.

Pathetically hilarious. They'll line up to be Men's student now!
