what do you think the ratio if NL/limit hands will be shown?

my guess is 80/20

[Maliant]

Final table is probably all NL shown.

[J.C. Gloves]

Most of the big hands/bustouts during this tournament throughout took place during the limit rounds.

@ least that's what I gathered while following it.

Full power baby

Is there something wrong with my tv, or is ESPN screwing up here.

[Kos13]

WTF? Am I the only person alive without a widescreen TV? Everything is chopped off!

[ligastar]

The graphics are all f'd up. You can't read the cards b/c they are clipped off on the edges. WTF.

[bsheck]

You need a widescreen TV to watch this. Nice going ESPN.

[MediaPA]

does anyone's broadcast seem like it's made for a widescreen TV?
