** WSOP ME, $10,000 NLHE, Day 4, Fri., July 13 **

[peterpjames]

Tables I could see possibly being ESPN's featured table today:

29 2 Peter Feldman 284,000
29 3 Carlos Mortensen 284,000
29 4 Dave Terry 133,000
29 5 Jim Kasputis 560,000
29 6 Ryan McClean 97,000
29 7 David Wells 388,000
29 8 Darrel Dicken 215,000
29 9 Jeff Bryan 156,000

Former world champ, two other semi-names who have had at least some TV time before. Probably not though, as Carlos already was on a featured table with Gus and Gavin Smith.

35 1 Jim Geary 131,000
35 2 Sorel Mizzi 603,000
35 3 Rchard Klein 104,000
35 4 Justin King 714,000
35 5 Zachary Clark 599,000
35 6 Markus Gongalves 373,000
35 7 David O'Neal 321,000
35 8 Salvatore Erna 135,000

Godsmack lead singer and Sorel Mizzi is quickly gaining attention. Very low chance since Erna is so short stacked though.

44 1 Christoph Stiehler 108,000
44 2 Jeff Diambrosia Allen 93,000
44 3 Humberto Brenes 210,000
44 4 Tim Begley 441,000
44 5 Jason Koshi 346,000
44 6 Justin Sadauskas 618,000
44 7 Sean Walter 133,000
44 8 Alan Keating 566,000
44 9 William Spadea 1,057,000

I don't think Humberto has been on the feature table yet? They love covering him and with him below average chip wise they might want to "get him in" now...high likelihood.

59 1 Jeff Banghart 789,000
59 2 Marco Mills 294,000
59 3 Matt Cohen 374,000
59 4 Daniel Alaei 299,000
59 5 Daniel Melan 263,000
59 6 Bryan Swanson 216,000
59 7 Paul Spitzberg 629,000
59 8 Esfandiar Dara 520,000
59 9 Scotty Nguyen 321,000

Former world champ, semi-name in Alaei, Banghart is getting some attention too. Slight possibility, though Nguyen was already at the feature table on day 2 I believe.

62 1 Philip Yeh 224,000
62 2 Sebastian Zink 397,000
62 3 Brett W. Kimes 591,000
62 4 Jim McCrink 265,000
62 5 Reagan Silber 514,000
62 6 Bill Edler 673,000
62 7 Robert Varkonyi 424,000
62 8 Hyon Kim 145,000
62 9 Jared Hamby 379,000

Former world champ, bracelet winner in Edler, young star in Hamby...slight possibility but low as Varkonyi isn't really a draw compared to Humberto, in ESPN's eyes.

78 1 David Tran 434,000
78 2 John Spaavecchia 402,000
78 3 Julian Gardner 471,000
78 4 Philip Hilm 597,000
78 5 Alan Levin 316,000
78 6 Al Riccobono 204,000
78 7 Dario Minieri 2,398,000
78 8 Deb Blair 371,000
78 9 Mitch Garshofsky 158,000

Monster chip leader's table can be fun to follow, slight possibility.

Semi-OT question: Does the ME FT really start at 3 EST on Tues.? Or is that just a ballpark figure? Seems lame to start the PPV so early in the day.

Every day of the tournament starts at noon Vegas time, so 3pm EST. The final table can take a lonnnnnng time (it went well into the next day last year, ended sometime after sunrise in the EST time zone) so if they started later it could literally go far into the next morning.

So yes, 3PM.

Can someone post JUROLLO's table for me, I am at work and this is the only site I can get (for this type of stuff).

Thanks!

[peterpjames]

That sounds good, as if the coverage will indeed be live WITHOUT hole cards which makes it SOOOOOOOOOOOOO much more fun to watch.

[Austiger]

You don't have Tobey Maguire 131000 as a feature table possibility.

[peterpjames]

With his dislike of any media coverage and no other big names at the table I thought probably not...but yeah, very slight possibility. I think they want a more engaging personality though, and will do frequent "away from the main table" updates about the "celebrities" still in.

Sorry, I'm confused. Could you clarify if the PPV coverage will show hole cards or not?

Tobey Maguire winning would be the best thing that could possibly happen for poker.

The only way this would be possible is if the final table were in a hermetically-sealed bubble for the entire duration. I really don't see this happening.
