I think that ship has sailed, SFSailLady.

To few saw it on TV so they lost sponsor/TV network and had noone willing to sponsor or show it on TV.

Big shame, I watched the PPT and liked the format and the coverage. I thought it was very well done and with the rising popularity of Poker the potential audience will only grow.

Agreed, I'd like to see some WPT events covered in that style.

I don't think they'll be letting Mark Seif near any holecams anytime soon.

I liked the coverage, I really like seeing early tournament coverage. Could have been alot better, only the top 6 winning anything is a little extreme and making it a freeroll was kinda silly IMO.

Two of the worst announcers in poker.

I loved this idea in theory. But the featured tables they chose in early-stage episodes were absolutely terrible. You would think from the show that mustachioed, overweight fifty-something nits were the superstars of the poker world.

Also, the show would make bizarre editing decisions. Like the would show two hours of play going down from 18 to 9 players, but then skip coverage of the money bubble entirely, and not even tell you what happened before the final table.
