Going on now on ESPN2.

I don't know how many years they have been showing the main even live, but damn it's a lot more boring than when they used to edit and speed everything up. Same 4 guys have been going at it for about 2 hours now with no eliminations.

Just happen to be flipping channels because MNF tonight

Do they have a stop time where they pick it up again tomorrow or does run well into the night?

They are playing until someone is eliminated I believe.

I've always wondered why poker is covered on ESPN. It's a card game.. not a sport

ESPN carried the AWA for years. If that's fair game, so is tWSOP

Between that and late night competitive arm wrestling I'm starting to really hate ESPN's live programming

How much do we think these guys are worth on average? Like they're going to win 3-8 million dollars based on finish. Is that 10 times their net worth or do they make a ton of money doing this?

How much are pros worth? A lot less than you think. Many are broke degenerates.

A lot of pitfalls in that career:
1. drugs
2. alcohol
3. hookers
4. sports betting
5. pit gambling
6. bad staking

The other two guys left seem like very mediocre players, he should win easily.
