It's also apparently the last episode for ESPN's WSOP producer, who got promoted to football. I hope ESPN maintains the same high standards next year, and that ESPN/ABC's football broadcasts improve.

Sounds like we're going to start the NFL version of 'The Nuts' pretty soon. Sounds absolutely horrible.

Also, he lost me at "If we can find players with cancer or other diseases, our viewers will eat that up."

I mean......[censored] you.

LOVE the Hellmuth rap!

Maybe they should cap the blinds at a certain point to allow more play.

I enjoyed all the HORSE coverage incidentally

Any word of how the ratings for the horse compared to the main event ratings?

I cannot understand how such a large part of this poker community doesn't know or play these games. It's weird, to be honest.

And tournament or no tournament, it would have to be some kind of act of God for Hanson to make it that far. There was a Stud 8 hand where he made three abysmal calls in a row that I wouldn't have made when I was TEN years old, honestly.

And then there's..."It's poker, Freddy."

He should have been trying to be invisible for being so far out of his depth, not provoking actual players.

But again, I'd rather watch HORSE forever than watch another NLHE pushfest.

If it wasn't clear to you that Deeb was the best (read: only fully competent HORSE) player of the final five or six, you might want to bone up on these games a bit.
