WSOP Main Event Final Table delayed 3 months

plus you can't have hole card cams if it is live which will lose a lot of the viewers.

Last year I watched the final table on a 5 minute delay. Didnt have hole cards obviously, but was pretty awesome.

I actually didnt mind not seeing the hole cards. Gives you a chance to try and read the players and put them on a hand.

Took ages though. Like 10 hours or something.

They need to edit it so they can fit it into a 2 hour show. So thats why they are going to show it 24 hours later. Gives them time to edit it down to 2 hours, and then get the commentators to call the action.

Oooooooh. Intriguing.

Not a bad idea. I can see why they're giving it a shot.

Unlike past final tables, which featured mostly unknown players, poker fans will have had a chance to see these players in action, judge their play, and learn the differences between them. At least enough to root for some players, and root against others. It's a much more compelling experience when fans have a rooting interest.

Loses something in translation across the water, methinks ...

Yeah I had a giggle at that too
