Thoughts on the WSOP FT

Despite my dislike of zealotry, I think Yang's win might've been a good thing. Is anyone else hoping Yang's win brings some hardcore Christians into the poker economy? Dudes who rely on luck and prayer to win?

This was the first PPV of the ME final table that I've ordered and I loved it. I'm assuming this is just because I don't have anything to compare it to. I don't understand the Yang hate....after his exit interview, it seems pretty hard to dislike the guy.

Relative to almost every other televised final table I've seen, these guys were sloooooooooooooooow. Nobody expects a ton of snap calls and what not, but this was over the top, especially in spots where there really was no decision to make. Yang had a push back to him getting like 5:1 or something, holding 2nd pair top kicker vs. a short stack and tanked for 5 minutes.

no s**t. 8.25 million dollar 1st place, the biggest tournament of the year, 16 hours of play and.... 205 hands for the final table? that sucks!

Also, I really enjoyed having no hole cards for a change. It was fun trying to figure out the hands.

I think a telecast that hid the holecards but revealed the hands at the end of the hand might be fun. Have they done that before?

Late Night Poker used to show you one player's holecards but not the other's. That worked pretty well...
