WSOP on ESPN thread (10/16 - $50K HORSE)

[Kevmath]

Just because the Main Event is over doesn't mean that ESPN has run out of poker coverage. Tonight starts the first of three weeks of coverage of the $50,000 HORSE event. Tonight's show will start with the field already down to 52 from a field of 148. It'll be interesting to see how many non-holdem hands they'll be showing over the weeks, as they try to explain to the viewers what HORSE is really about. As usual, Gary Wise puts up a preview of tonight's coverage here.

My Dish menu must be wrong, because it says "Players Championship."

Finally, some hope for good poker on ESPN.

Says the same thing on other sites, but there was no T.O.C. this years. Only HORSE

Wow. I had no idea this was going to happen. Should be very interesting. Also, in that Gary Wise article, he says the "E" stands for Omaha Hi/Lo. I always thought it was Stud Hi/Lo. Does this ever vary, or is it always Omaha 8?

Pretty sure it's stud h/l. It only makes sense because the 'O' in HORSE stands for omaha h/l.

So there's no Omaha Hi? That's odd.

Yay no more Jerry Yang "Raise... 2.5 million" crap anymore. I'm also curious to see how many hands they show of each type of game.

I can't wait.
