WSOP 2011 Main Event Day 8 FINAL - World Series of Poker 1/21

[TwistedMetal32]

This is the way it is now. You can't adapt, then too bad.

[kvnd7331]

i think the coverage is awesome i dont know why everyone hates it, you get to see every hand and get to actually think about the plays they are making rather then the cards they have

[weapons33]

this is shit without seeing card..what a let down.

[TheMagicalwispers]

To those of you complaining about not seeing the cards... this is live. The Nevada Gaming Commision wouldn't like people seeing the cards before the hand is over, might be a good place for people to cheat eh?

If you want to see the cards, wait for the produced programs later where they can show the cards during the hand.

[bloodybeavis]

@TheMagicalwispers When is it coming ? Its been 21 days allready

[dlporter198]

Not showing the cards takes the emotional involvement out of watching the game. Now I'm not hoping or rooting for anything. I've become a passive viewer, and it is idiotic not to show the cards. What is the value? I don't even want to watch.

[morfiy4]

no cards - no honey

[karoshiman]

It's way better, than the normal format, where it was most of the time like this: "Ouhh... XXX is allin with Kings... YYY calls and flips over Aces... blablabla"... you saw very seldomly real poker hands, just the aforementioned bullshit. I can only support this format!

[1Tyrano1]

The new setup isn't killing poker, it IS poker. 

[fazhion21]

la cagarooonnn en todoo, desde la entrada, los comentaristas i los jugadores estos se me hace qe tiennen todos la cara de idiota, le qitaron lo emocionanteee nada comooo la wsop 2010

[MrSonofabitch00]

fuck I want to see the cards!

[MrWazzato]

Bullshit without seeing the cards



[MrWazzato]

It's bullshit to watch without seeing the cards

[MrWazzato]

It's bullshit to watch without seeing the cards

[MumblingMickey]

@maxirierez109 Agreed... its part of the live game... If players want to hide their cards and avoid giving away tells they can always take up meditation or something. Whats next wearing an astronaut suit to hide all automotive responses?

Plus as Ben Lamb demonstrates NOT wearing sunglasses is really intimidating... and he's perfectly prepared to make a raise and look directly at his opponents... As Esfandiari says its really bloody intimidating...

[myone2008]

man whats with the bitching about the cards? watch the god danm game you don;'t need to see the full cards to have an idea of what the players have if you need full cards expose wait till espn blows it off, now shut the fuck up and keep sucking.

[MumblingMickey]

@maxirierez109 agreed, live or not ... I doubt you, me or the man on the moon would be bothered if there was a 20 min delay to ensure hands were not notified to the players...

plus players should not be allowed to carry cell phones or ipads to the table....

This is all down to the stupid fiasco last year where they introduced the final table delayed with the ticker on ESPN stating the winner.

[MumblingMickey]

CONT> In fact you know what, there should be some sort of dress code. If poker seeks respectability in the same way any other sport does then all players should wear the same. You wouldn't see Tiger Woods appear on the green wearing tons of bling, a hoody, sunglasses and sporting ipod earphones.

Now I love poker and reading other players is part of the game. Myself and the missus play live. we do have an advantage in that we can read one another really well.

I might be old fashioned perhaps

[thisfuckinsucks1]

its not a new set up u damn idiots..its live. have one of their buddies watching it on tv and telling them by morse code or something whta the other players have duhhhh..!!

[robobark]

this sucks, i wanna see what card they have. fuck this shit !!!

[chelsea7266]

Czech ! :))

[Anduril6000]

this is real poker, people think every hand is action because you see that one tv but they cut out hundreds of hands.

[MrUndead115]

Check my channel for a video of howard lederer explaining his actions. Look for ''Howard Coward"

[edu206]

Show the fricking cards ESPN!!!

[sungwooh1]

IT SUX THAT WE CAN'T C DA CARDS WTF



[SchwarzundWeis]

what is this new system everynoe talks about? how is it different from the old one?

[Dr4go0]

ben lamb is a fat son of a bitch

[cavallaric31]

Showed 1 hand kid and it was folded on the flop waste of 15 mins

[seak77]

bring the old format back pleasseeeeeeeeeeee!!!

[ginalyn281]

Listen to new Poker Song "Ten Twenty Lenny"

[phuzzykrumbstuff]

the dealer is kinda cute

[Drakengard32]

Cmon those players are too gays, we need more action!

[51909relapseminem]

despite everyone hating this new set up, i like it because you can always guess what cards the players had

[dumbnetworks]

@51909relapseminem that because you are a fuckin idiot

[jimbuckleybarrett]

@51909relapseminem I agree but it would be nice to see the cards at the end of each hand no matter what. I would also like to see what players are folding pre and post flop.

[daniixon]

gay no cards.

[IDAMOKIS]

where's the Grinder???

[itssimpleiwinyoulose]

@IDAMOKIS grinder was in the 010 final table buddy

[JiveDadson]

Is there a version with the hole cards?

[New987user]

@JiveDadson Yes. They just haven't finished the Norman Chad/Lon McEachern version yet for day 8 ... the tuesday shows are up to day 6 ... here's the most current ... watch?v=fqnqYHwJtXk

[THEHITMAN663]

fuck your beef jerky where the fuck is stormin norman?

[theextreamfisherman]

IM BEGINNING TO NOTICE THE LADY DEALER, SHE LOOKS SO CUTE, HER SMILE IS SO SWEET AND HER VOICE SOUNDS SO ENCHANTING, OWWW I'M IN LOVE!!!

[ihateuutube]

@theextreamfisherman She's perfect <3.

[mraramable]

Kinda hooked on pokerviews rakeback system. Most rakeback ive gotten from any site yet. Cheers

[LennyWei]

OMG PEOPLE...they have the edited highlights version. WHat's wrong with having both versions playing on TV???? IF you prefer the other version..DON'T WATCH THIS AND GO WATCH THE EDITED VERSION!!! It's not like they got rid of the edited highlights version with norman chad completely -_____-

[AslamProductionz]

they are killing poker like this,it was better with old setup its a card game not a football final

[padobah]

@AslamProductionz How the hell is it killing poker? It's being more widely regarded as a sport than a normal gambling game, so people are watching it as such. More people will play poker. Poker rooms and professional players will theoretically make more money because there will be more fish. What could possibly be wrong with that??? Are you actually sad there's more than a few hundred people in the Bellagio playing poker?

[UndercoverLdn]

@AslamProductionz

Final Table is live broadcasted this sunday with the hole cards...

[coreycunninghamkarl]

@AslamProductionz What a stupid stupid comment. How is a football final more important than a poker world series?

[Illawong]

@coreycunninghamkarl I think the point he is making is that in a football final people looking on can see what is happening. Without the hole camera spectators in a poker final have very little idea what is going on. The old system allows more involement.

[swivelgate]

without Norman Chad this really sucks big time!

[johnnycheck99]

And where are the hole cards on screen??

[Legenden81]

@johnnycheck99 this is a live coverage. They will be shown later on. There are some of the earlier clips from this event out...

[johnnycheck99]

Is there a time limit on making decisions? Why do tournament referees call a clock when Tony G says so? Even after 30 seconds?

[ginalyn281]

Listen to new Poker Song "Ten Twenty Lenny"

[swagger3898]

Come on Sam Holden, wish you luck for the final table

[brwnc]

hey epicwsoptv, how come your vids like this dont get taken because of copyright? thanks

[oli420routledge]

this is a joke you dont ever see any cards for 15mins. Lame

[xFerris]

I WANT MY ORIGINAL BROADCAST BACK!!!!! Poker is just getting worse since high stakes poker becomes that shit without gabe and AJ

[Xanax26]

I don't get the editing stuff about "why no hole cards". we are in 2011 right, how wouldnt it be possible to flash pre-made card pictures on the screen

[sollehzin]

wei boring can,t see hole card

[theryanking2001]

Way to much advertisement now that Harrah's took over.

[silvergray980]

its not my dream i just love the action wen i got to a room and they think im a scrub hahaha suckers

[togoodtobreal]

thisss suuuuucckkkssss wwttff hapened

[lappo253]

this sux balls norman chad rules

[deschranzer1]

wtf happend????

- where,s norman chad???

- why can,t we see the whole cards of the players???

-what happened to the decor????

-why don,t they show other tables???

[TheCraziecanadien]

@deschranzer1 we cant see hole cards because this is the live telecast. What they show on espn each night this week has been taped. Now espn only shows their "feature table"

[deschranzer1]

@TheCraziecanadien

ok thanks man!, then i will wait for the normal tv broadcast

[nickgen123]

@deschranzer1 get with the program and stop fiending for thumbs

[DimmuBorgir123456789]

@deschranzer1 1)This is the live version... Norman will be the commentator by the cut version... 2)Thats the reason why we dont see the hole card,they have to edit the footage first 3)Ok youre right, the decor SUCKS^^

4) Which tables you wanna see??? There are just 2 tables (each with 6 players) left...;)

[burkis333]

When the episodes comes out on ESPN they gonna be uploaded here. And thats the whole WSOP ME. this is just some shit from livestreaming.

[jtamezf]

old broadcast was waaay better...cant even see the cards anymore.....dissappointed!!!

[silverberetta17]

Thumbs UP if Espn should bring back the ORIGINAL broadcast of the Main Event, NOT just one table!!!

[huffer10]

funny how when a guy like Lamb is cathing cards especially on the river, how everybody starts sucking his d**k. the guy is running hot and nothing else....he's been big stack for most of the tournement and been catching alot of river cards...nothing more

[snelhest9]

Gosh this sucks, i want norman chad and i only want to see the "action" hands, and aswell i want to see the holecards..

[neilio901]

this sucks bottom line

[Jinxkatrina8]

I can't stand Ben Lamb, I really don't want him to win, but I still don't know why I dislike him so much.

[davidvh]

I like the new formula. Now, I have to make an effort and think about the hands or none of it makes sense. If you don't like to think once in a while, go watch one of the 'talent' shows.

[ladieschoice83]

why the fuck would we want to watch this without seeing the fucking cards! what a joke

[LiveTheHighLifeKUSH]

I like the old version of ESPNs broadcast of the WSOP. Where they would go to outer tables all the time and show differnt knockouts from around the room, not just stuck on the main table.

[Siobaras]

@LiveTheHighLifeKUSH

This is just the live show, not the one you are talking about.

The actual taped broadcast will be as usual.

[LiveTheHighLifeKUSH]

@Siobaras Do you know when it will be on youtube?

[jackbauer27Psn]

@Siobaras god i hope you're right. I dint think you are though. Lon and Norman have both commentated this live show. so surely they can't commentate the old style show and pretend they haven't already watched it. Although i suppose it's just one or two tables that they were watching. bring on the old style show!!!! any idea when it's on?

[shroey20]

@LiveTheHighLifeKUSH they can't do that because this is the live broadcast.

[erwinoscar24]

@LiveTheHighLifeKUSH ..they still have the same concept...but now the wsop is live..but they also have the regular espn concept with the most important hands and knock outs....

[feensta89]

@LiveTheHighLifeKUSH this moron is talking about knokouts from around the room and not just the main table????? there are only 12 people left you dumb idiot!!! what tables are you talking about???

[LiveTheHighLifeKUSH]

@feensta89 Your retarted. Im talking about the whole Main Event not just the last 12. I just so happened to post it on this video.

[OnlinePokerCowboy]

@LiveTheHighLifeKUSH, OMG THUMB THIS DOWN, they already have the highlight shows for donk fanboys like u that wanna suck off Ivey, let the ppl actually interested in poker have the main event final table at least.

Its so rare to see live coverage of such high calliber players under the most pressure possible and u are complaining u cant see Ray Romano getting knocked out and saying some stupid sht? go back to grinding $10 SNG's dude.

[LiveTheHighLifeKUSH]

@OnlinePokerCowboy Lol awh did my comment get you a little upset?

[ashleyboyo69]

@OnlinePokerCowboy oh god a poker elitist, now i've seen everything

[RoyMunsoned]

@LiveTheHighLifeKUSH its a LIVE STREAM buddy

[vassel123]

@LiveTheHighLifeKUSH they still doing it , but in the video only 2 tables left :D

[rune2u4u]

@LiveTheHighLifeKUSH i like normon more than these poeple

[thematt121295]

@LiveTheHighLifeKUSH there is only 12 people left in this episode

[xMidnightGamer]

@LiveTheHighLifeKUSH its the FINAL TABLE

[LiveTheHighLifeKUSH]

@xMidnightGamer Lol its not the Final Table, John Hewitt never made the fina table. This is the feature table of day 8.

[xMidnightGamer]

@LiveTheHighLifeKUSH ahhhhhh maybe there's to much action

[SBurglar]

that man's shirt and tie combo at 7.00 needs to be re-assessed.

[ropke00s]

[nightmaredust911]

@ropke00s its a lot better its helped my poker a lot

[hullukyrpa]

pathetic!!! where the fukk is the normal televised wsop main event ??

[MrGtsouk]

WHY THE FUCK ARE THE CARDS COVERED ?

[ronaldoasfor]

and how can i see the role cards wsop is fucked up

[OneTouch8700]

i don't like playing traditionally where you burn the cards before you deal the flop and the others

[runnerrunner4u]

@OneTouch8700 you mean like, playing by the rules? go reload your play chips and shut up

lol @ "the others"

[OneTouch8700]

@runnerrunner4u no u shut up it's fucking poker i can play how i like no one seems to mind when we play poker if i play like that.

[runnerrunner4u]

@OneTouch8700 cuz you're all donks, plz invite me to your home game lol

[OneTouch8700]

@runnerrunner4u ok hope you have £500 or whatever it is in dollars $815.55 there I converted it for you.

[runnerrunner4u]

@OneTouch8700 woah, big spender, rainbow suspenders... look at you in your imaginary home game

[OneTouch8700]

@runnerrunner4u ha ha lol but seriously we play bout once a month at different places and we have to have a small bankroll set aside for it I didn't win the last one we played :( surprisingly the host won it we were on for about 7 hours it was me and the host and we were both tired and i was down to about 10,000 he was like on hundreds of thousands so I went all in on trip aces and he had a friging straight flush.

[runnerrunner4u]

@OneTouch8700 im sure your imaginary friends are really good at playing poker

[OneTouch8700]

@runnerrunner4u yep you sure are funny and you take all this time you could be with your friends to make up an argument with someone you don't even know about something ridiculously stupid.

[runnerrunner4u]

@OneTouch8700 lol, irony

[OneTouch8700]

@runnerrunner4u i don't see the irony here if you are saying that i made an argument with you you are mistaken you are the one who told me to shut up.

[runnerrunner4u]

@OneTouch8700 dont worry about it, have a nice day

[OneTouch8700]

@runnerrunner4u thank you kind sir

[musicisakey]

i hate esfandiari (and laak) at the take but he's ok as a commentator

[Intricateshotz]

@musicisakey

you HATE. i love esfandiari (and laak). hes amazing as a commentator

even better then my fellow canadian daniel negreanu IMO

great insight

[LennyWei]

are you guys stupid? We would still have the normal shows with hole cards later in August and September. ... Now it's only early summer and we get to see this is already an amazing work by WSOP. STFU about hole cards...for me this is much more exciting because their analysis are much more in depth.

[bann1f3ro]

love negreanu speeckless

[MrLjkskater]

Going back to 2010 and before. This blows
