Default Poker on ESPN: Main Event Day 1a + Day1b, August 10th, 8-10pm ET

The moment the casual viewer and the poker nerd has been waiting for commences this evening with coverage of the $10,000 Main Event of the WSOP on ESPN.

This week, coverage is dedicated to days 1a and 1b, with the rest of day 1 airing the following week. Always interesting is to see how many members of the November Nine appear in early coverage. While waiting for coverage, check out The Poker Beat's own Gary Wise discussing Mike Matusow's prop bet with Ted Forrest here. You can also check out the previews of tonight's coverage here and here.

that seemed like a pretty easy fold after the acting job the guy put on on the turn.

I'd have to go back to a previous episode to confirm this, but it looks like Lon McEachern might have rerecorded the explanation of the UTG, UTG+1, etc. I guess ESPN got some flak about referring to the two blinds as "late position" during the 50K and TOC broadcasts. The V.O. sounded different to me, as if looped at a later time from the rest of the audio.

Pfff please. Turn brought a flush, so he could have been hollywooding that. It's day one of the ME people go crazy with much worse hands.I have no idea how you fold a boat in that spot. I'm certainly not good enough.

That lay down was world class. End of story.

and as you saw the last few episodes they have changed the title of that graphic to "preflop table position"
