Anyone who likes watching poker may like watching some of the WSOP 2012 live...They will be showing some of the final tables.

Daniel Negreanu is one of the last 5 players at Event #5;

Yep been watching since Event #2. Not a fan of the stream ....need LivB to do some commentary none of this Gavin Smith or having no one do it garbage.

 

[roguejuror]

are they doing that long pause where they do the final table at the end of year?

 

[mrquincy]

That's a good question... I'm not even sure if they are going to do the 'November 9'.

 

[Virtuoso]

no they arent

also,

There will be no off-day during the Main Event this year.
The number of tables has been increased to 480, allowing for 1,000 more players in the tournament area.
The Main Event will be three days shorter without compromising structure at all.
All days of the Main Event will last for 5 levels, starting at noon and ending at 12:40am. The last day is the lone possible exception.

Looks like Andy Bloch has gotten his first bracelet. No stupid cowboy hat though...and no Full Tilt Patches.... He looks like such a geek, I guess he is.

A hint about the end of the Full Tilt fiasco perhaps?

 

[Virtuoso]

doubt it

 

[mrquincy]

Whoa! Hellmuth wins his 12th bracelet... There is gonna be no listening to him now.

 

[Vegas Dave]

Still can't believe Ivey lost that heads up matchup in PLH. Made a few big mistakes in that one.

 

[Virtuoso]

Ivey on fire

Phil Hellmuth and Gus Hansen have satellited into the tournament. It is going to be on ESPN at some point, I think.
