Is it really a spoiler when I open up my computer and in headlines a winner is announced? I can't avoid it...they spilled the beans...there's no hiding from it. the mass media has already ruined it.
$50,000 horse...you know who won,

I am not quite sure, but it think they called it "news" in the old days when everything costed only a penny.

I went to foxsports and it was a headline there also. I couldn't care less about not finding out who the winner is until the TV show airs, but if you don't want to know, then don't go anywhere with news on the internet today. |

If you want to see a real donkament, go check out the last 10 hands of event 48! What a d bag series of suckouts by the winner. Goes over the top all in with 76 and gets runner 66 to take one guy out, then again and again and again.  |

I don't mind the spoilers, I read the magazines so it's pretty much old news by the time it hits TV. I was just surprised poker is still making front page news when it's not the ME.

When it is a player as successful, colorful, and entertaining as *no spoiler today*, then it's definitely a headline. |

I still think that the buy in plus the amount of winnings is news worthy, regardless who took it down.
