ESPN TV changes - 2007 WSOP

[olivert]

A quick summary of the changes made to the ESPN TV schedule, as confirmed by the executive producer:

1. $5000 Limit/No Limit (Steve "MrSmokey1" Billirakis) shortened to 1 hour

2. $5000/rebuys Pot Limit Omaha High (Burt Boutin) added and was given 2 hours

3. $3000 No Limit expanded to 2 hours, with the first hour built around Phil Hellmuth's attempt to win bracelet #12 (he busted out in 6th to end the 1st hour) and the 2nd hour built around housewife Beth Shak's improbable run at a bracelet (she made it to the heads-up match).

4. TV tapings for the $2500 6-handed (Event 30) and $10000 pot limit omaha (Event 50) have been cancelled.

5. There will be TV feature tables on Days 3 and 4 (June 26 and 27) of the $50K HORSE event, plus the TV final table on Day 5: June 28.
