Yeah, it's not til tomorrow, but I am SO excited for it! I'm really hoping they show Stud Hi-Lo, they never show Lo events on the WSoP, and I'll be Really upset if they don't.

What are you guys most looking forward to?

I'm looking forward to watching a limit event because I want to see some real poker. I'm sick and tired of ESPN's focus on all-in hands, most of which are filmed after the point where the all-in bet has been called. Sorry for the vent -- this is a pet peeve of mine.

All five flavors are interesting, and I hope that we get to see a representative sampling of all the games.

I agree 100%, the only limit they've shown so far this year is the 5k mixed Limit/NL play, and the only Limit hands they really shown were either with FBT Mueller or Billrakis getting monsters, not really playing that skilled.

Looking forward to the OM8. The two episodes of the PLO was good. I hate Devilfish but man he played so well and got so screwed.

The stud event just seemed to be incredibly bad poker, but hard to say because I haven't seen much stud on TV. Would be a lot easier if they kept better track of the stacks.

Time to ignore CT for the next two hours. It's on.
Spoiler-I'm watching myself win it all.

I have liked the coverage tonight. Showing all the games, good explanations (so noobs can understand). Certainly better than last years FT with NLHE only.

It was a pretty good episode, although partway through(especially the 2nd hour) it turned into the "Listen to Phil Hellmuth cry for 45 minutes" show, which was getting REALLY annoying. Oh well.

I also would have liked to have seen H.O.R.S.E. from the start, not from 54 players down, it started with 148 and they are only showing the top 1/3rd.

Next week's episode should be better, and overall this one was worth watching

Norman Chad had me LOLing, which never happens, with his shots at Phil.

I enjoyed both the coverage and the poker. A little too much Phil "a legend in his own mind" Hellmuth for my taste; the only thing worse than his language was his play. On balance, well worth watching.
