So other than Dennis Phillips and Demigod, I don't know or remember a thing about the current Novemeber 9. Granted, there is still a few more Main Event episodes to be aired, but still, I don't recall much else.
Has the Poker world used the delayed Final table to their beneift to your knowledge? I don't see any commercials advertising the final table as of yet? |

Who's time has it wasted?
What harm has it done?
Has anyone benefited?
Has poker benefited? |

| I know more about them, but I'm a poker dork. I've been disappointed with Harrah's at not hyping it. Hell, I live out here, and I had to contact them just to get details on the final table. |

I have intentionally not looked up anything about any of them. I was curious to see if I learned anything about them. And other than the 2 I mentioned, I havent seen anything. And really, if I didn't see the list of names a few times before hand and read random poker blogs I wouldnt have known they were even at the final table.
So I gagree, Harrahs is doing a shitty job promoting the final table. |

I was referring to the novermber 9th final table... Is it playing live and is it on ESPN or is it a PPV event? |

The play the final table on November 9, and stop when it gets HU. Then, those two will come back November 10. Quick editing, and it will then be shown to the world on November 11.
I don't think there's any way to see it live without coming out here. |

| I've heard in a couple different places that ratings for WSOP the last couple weeks have been much bigger than the last couple years, and in fact bigger than the final tables. So, that's something, even if it doesn't prove causation. |

So after watching some more recent WSOP espisodes here are some random thoughts.
- Tiffany Michelle is not only a bad player, but a dumb one too. Her actions and random comments didn't endear her at all. After seeing the little that was showed of her (which surprised me, I expected more Tiffany on ESPN, but they just didn't show a lot) I am not surprised by her sponsership conflicts during those last few days. Her and the Arlington (Craig?)kid went at it a couple times too. heh
- Joe Bishop is somewhat entertaining.
- I like Dennis Phillips.
- Chino Rheem is fun to watch too.
That is all, for now. |

Yeah, I had heard some stuff about Tiffany Michelle during the tourney, but kinda doubted it, as her on-air personality was so likable (and fairly intelligent).
I don't think her sponsorship issues were due to her behavior. Stars really wanted her. But, it is an additional sign that she's not too bright. She also started a thread recently on 2+2 that hasn't gone over too well. |

Yeh, I was rooting for her too. But she didn't come across as very likeable at all from what ESPN showed us. She was nice to look at though.
Do you mind linking the 2+2 thread? I don't troll over there so much anymore. |

I bet Stars is thinking they are glad she wasn't wearing one of their logos. I thought she came across as a total arrogant bitch. |
