I found the final two shows unwatchable as well. Hachem's supporters ushered in the overzealous patriotic spirit to the final table, which ESPN chose to emphasize. That combined with the constant prayer had me finding something else to watch.

Simply put, real poker fans will have to go elsewhere for their poker shows. Real poker ability or strategy are primarily ignored. We are not the target audience for ESPN's WSOP shows.

ESPN, as you know, will re-air these during their many holes in their schedules over their 'family of networks.'
Therefore, their main goal is to make it interesting for the typical TV surfer, not for the aspiring poker players.

you do realize..

this is real poker players playing a real poker tournament. regardless of how you assess their skill level. next years final table will have similar players at it.

keep complaining on this and other internet message boards.

Yang showed us what happens when you take the saying "Shove and pray" literally.

This has to be in the running for the photo of the year award. Too bad most of the posters wouldn't recognize the original shot.
