Have you been looking forward to this? Man, I have I watched the live show back in July. That was pretty cool. This will be on ESPN tomorrow beginning at noon? I think. I doubt I will get to see the finish (play down to 3 from 9) . The final 3 are back on Tuesday. Its expected to go 15+ hours. I couldn't find a line on my sportsbook, but if I did my money would be on ...

Ben Lamb.
Super ggressive. Smart. American!

Poker is Not a Crime!

WTF? Why is this on ESPN? Is it a sport now?

ESPN has been there for quite some time now. Perhaps 20 years. Norman Chad is pretty damn funny. Yeah, 8 to 12 hours of straight concentration playing for over 8 million. I suppose that probably qualify's.

Try it sometime.

I know, but why ESPN?

Its not rocket science. The networks show what brings in viewers/ratings. What other sport do you recommend for ESPN to air on ESPN2 or 3 on a sunday/tuesday evening? They cant show any NFL games since they only got the contract for MNF.

You're calling it a sport?

I dont really consider it a sport but then again I don't really consider horse racing or golf a sport but yet they are still on ESPN. Also since it has been being shown on ESPN for more than 3 years now they must be getting good enough ratings to continue to put it on the network. If you don't want to watch it, turn to some other network. Kind of old news really

Horse racing is the sport of Kings.I'd rather watch the WNBA.

O'Dea catches runner runner diamonds to knock Lamb way down now is good to knock out Lamb!

Lamb rivers it!

Insane!

Start a movement. You could call it Occupy ESPN. Your agenda would be simple enough for most Americans to understand---- Get poker off ESPN.

Why do they let these poker players wear sunglasses?

How long have you been living in that cave?

wtf you talking about?

Lamb is so so LUCKY. He should have been out a couple times, once with the Q8 catches the river 8, then the Heart draw vs JJ. Flopping quad Kings was a nice touch to finish off Gianetti.

There was some discussion earlier this year about players wearing sunglasses. Daniel Negraneu was outspokenly against it. Others didn't see it as a big deal.

So it appears you tuned in eh Sol Duc? :P pretty entertaining stuff wasn't it.
