ESPN EDITING

Interesting to compare the PPV to the live broadcast for edits.... not only are they editing which hands, but the INTRA-HAND editing ...

Take the Childs-Yang hand with QQ vs. JJ. I clocked it on ESPN from the time Childs looks at his cards, until the time he mucks.... 2:07

On the pay per view, they didn't even see the flop until well after the 3:00 mark. The hand took 8:40.

Certainly Im glad they did, cuz all we need now is people descending on the poker rooms imitating Yang by staring aimlesly into space on every move for 2 minutes at a time. It's already agonizing in the casino watching some of these morons sit there and mull their hands before deciding to fold preflop. I couldn't take any more of it

You need to start a new thread for this? We have a WSOP ME FT thread that this would have fit right in to.

Personally 2:07 is too long to spend on a muck even with the pair vs pair. I would rather see more hands.
