I really like the live coverage, except when there's an ad and they come back to players already being allin

Crowd's going mental at everything, must be some beers flowing.

nah, but railing it on pokernews

seems to be a few short stacks still, even after the first couple got knocked out

yeah that would suck but i guess they gotta go to ads some time

[BigPete33]

It's the bad thing about ESPN, sooo many ads. They have pop-ups on screen during live sport, while the ball is in play, big enough to cover bout 1/3 of the screen.

I suppose I should be thankful they're not doing that!

im not watching it, but i would nearly prefer uninterrupted coverage with ads on the screen than for them to cut away

[BigPete33]

Those banner like popups at the bottom of screen aren't so bad, but imagine a far too large picture-in-picture where you can't see anyway so it may as well have been an ad break.


Still, the coverage has been awesome!

yeah fair enough. wish i was home watching it though

wow poor Ben Lamb runner runner flush for Collins.

[bennymacca]

i was wondering what hand you were talking about, then i realised that the live coverage is on delay.

make sure you dont accidentally check pokernews

what they should do is have a delayed version of pokernews, kinda like what fanfooty do with the live fantasy scores

[madali]

Ok so stupid internet went down part way through so missed quite a bit but wow nice way for Ben Lamb to finish of the first day.

[BigPete33]

He sure got lucky a couple of times, but it's not like he was playing badly either.

I like Staszko, I remember him from one of the feature tables and can recall thinking he was one to watch out for. Seems to me that he spent ages sizing up Heinz so could be some fireworks there.
