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.
Pardon me, but I think you'll find that's a shovel. See you next Tuesday!

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!

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!

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 :D

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

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.
