THought the point was a huge build up for the wsop final table event.

but they didnt even have pay-per-view for it. (And they had it last year!)

so what was the point?!?

November is a ratings month, so I am guessing its for that reason they are airing it.

they should do it like american idol.... move the final 10 people to the end of the season and broadcast it live with 10 seconds delay...

OP means the final table is being played right now. they used to play it completely through but now once the final table is set there's ~2month delay.

gives the players a chance to get coaching. gives them a chance to get their names known so people aren't going to be like who are these guys. there could be a problem if someone dies or if two players decide to collude.

There's more pros than cons. There was an article about this in all-in mag i think.

Yep. I think it's dumb. It should be an endurance trial, that's part of playing in a big tournament.

They delayed it so that the final table doesn't air live before the rest of it does. In past years, everyone would know the champion months before the episodes actually aired.

I understand this, my point is putting it off till now then showing it live is about ratings.

It starts tomorrow.

Wrong. Some of it has already been played out.

The rest will be finished today, and it will air tomorrow night on ESPN.

What they won't show tomorrow is the reaction that Tiffany Michelle received when she was introduced. The jeering from the crowd got really nasty.

Tiffany Michelle is hot. All the boys are just being sexist and jealous they got beat by a girl.

"The jeering from the crowd got really nasty."

JMO but her attitude seem to change as the tournament went on and she was acting really cocky at the end....That and she called the clock on a guy when he was debating an all in call that really pissed some people off.....

I didn't like how she ran around the room early on basically cheering for the other women to get knocked out but I guess in light of how Helmuth and some others act its not that bad lol......

She is an idiot, I was glad to see her go. She will pull a moneymaker, do well in one tourney and thats about it.
