Nice. By the way, the WSOP Preview show cracked me up. Nothing like having Bernard Lee tell us all the things to expect at this year's World Series -- after it had just ended.

Also, given that Bakes made this final table and ODB went deep in the Main Event, I wonder if ESPN/Norman Chad will have some fun with the confusion this caused this year? Perhaps a To Tell The Truth spoof: "Will the real David Baker please stand up?"

If you were to not have cable and you wanted to watch this streaming live online (hypothetically), you could visit channelsurfing.net, hypothetically.

I should revive the WSOP on ESPN Drinking Game I wrote up on 2+2 years ago. But instead of a drinking game, it will be a scavenger hunt: we have to spot the first instances of different things: first use of "Whamboozled", first sighting of Matt Waldron, first ex-wife joke, first "I love beef jerky," first sentimental interview, et cetera. First sighting of the various November Ninalists. We'll start it during the Main Event coverage.

Also, Airnick noticed the use of internet lingo (I haven't seen tonight's episode to confirm which), so I should add entries for uses of "flat", "three-bet", "c-bet" and whatever else the kids are saying.

I was sort of surprised they did not bring up Grinder's tax problems, although Chad did get in a little tax joke in the first hour.
