http://www.bwin-wsoplive.com/

Should be starting right now, but it seems servers are insanely overloaded and its impossible to watch ;o


I hope Demidov will take it down, we have a local mini-competition and few side bets running @ tlpoker.pl ;p

1 hour..

http://www.worldseriesofpoker.com/

i think my links suck, there is a links to wsop live audio ???

I guess its postponed by 1h since they have problem with servers or something ;o

is it going to be broadcast live without a cost?

what i'm kind of confused, cause they said they would be broadcasting on espn live on tuesday...so who are the final 2?

Go Vanya kill that FT!

Russia Russia Russia - oi - oi - oi

WAR SOUL.
or SOULWAR?

anyone know a working way to watch it online i cant find it¬_¬

links dont work for me. not sure why

SO how the fukin fuck do i watch the final table there is no fkn explanationa wnywhere wtf it is playing right now fk

me neither, but apparantly there is no television/streaming coverage of it anyway at all. Theres like an audiobroadcast and thats about all it seems

i mean, i click links and links and nothing happens, Kim is proly out already.

critterer, u mean ESPN does not stream it or whatever d word is?

it is in espn? tilt

okay, so please, can anyfuckingone please tell me how the fuck can i watch this 25 month-awaited fucking show through the WEB/INTERNET???!??

http://www.limpers.com/wsop-2008-main...le-finale-en-direct-en-live-9134.html

this work during the break, seems like an audio ?!

it seems you cant, its gonna be aired on tuesday on ESPN in a watered down version.

limpers lol, funny name. So do they admit to having problems ? So, let's put things together to see if i have made things clear. One of the reasons for waiting so fkn long was to have a semi-live or live or whatever-live streaming of the FT, right? At the same time, it seems like this is impossible?

theres no problem, you just CANT watch it.

limpers works but no video, just audio with guest and board with chip count

"have you ever wondered what it's like to listen to the same fkn video on and on on limpers.com?"

qft... fucking retarded, i thought they wanted to get extra money with an online live well prepared coverage... epic fail

the audio is working fine,,they make the presentation now

On limpers.com they said stg like: "well, there will be no live video streaming, sry.. whatever.."
like nothing happened. Is it just me or they really said they would have a live video some months ago. Proly i haven't understood correctly?

IT S AN AUDIO WITH CHIP COUNT; NO VIDEO TILL 11 nov , OMG LIOFLE u tilt me

have a nice audio

lol jerry yang speech SHUFFLE UP AND DEALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

Ok dude, superb. So it will be almost the same as "seeing who wOn" instead of "seeing who will wIn". I am going to watch table tennis on my radio.

Insane fail, considering the fact that they moved FT by 3 months so they can prepare everything and make it a 'great happening'.

EPT > WSOP.

3 month for a live audio, awesome.. i would have even paid...

Limp, raise, 3 bet, 4 bet FLAT, bet, all in, fold @_@ Demidov ftw

that hand was SO sick wtf

WOW, Dennis is 2nd now, from down to up . Damn freaking hand! Throughout this hand i always thought Dennis is just tilting from not winning a single hand. Limping UTG with AK or some suited-connectors to bluffreraise. Demidov read that perfectly with an overpair. I feel like i am in 1945, where d radio was THE SHIT!

gogogo, rocknroll Ivan!

im sry but Phillips played that hand insanely retarded
I hope Demidov wins

Ivan Demidov 35875000

Hevan Khad just shouted BULLLDOOOZERRR

not having a live broadcast is so unprofessional!
wtf were the tv producers thinking?

It's quite hilarious that there is no video stream after all this build up.

This FT is one of the only, if not THE ONLY(?) WSOP final table this year NOT available on pay-per-view on cable TV.

Good thing Greenstein is in the broadcast booth; I finally discovered that commentary more retarded (much more!) retarded than Norman Chad's is possible. I wish they would just kick this British guy and the chick out.

i hope schwartz does something stupid because he looks like a huge retard to me.

Kelly Kim just doubled up, had like 720k stack and woke up with KK in his BB vs K10 of Demidov in sb. Hes got about 1.7M now

I'd love to see this guy make a comeback tbh

god I hate when people are commentating on an audio broadcast and all they do is scream "oh my goood oh my goood oh my gooood" instead of saying what is going on.

Kim AdKs - Rheem AhKc

board 8h Jh 10h - Qc - Qd

whoa

Philips allin preflop w/ QQ - Rheem JJ

QQ held up and Philips doubled up

i don't like that call by Chino. I really think that Phillips wouldn't go allin with anything else than JJ+ cause of Kim's stack and the shame of going out in 9th place, even AK he woulda probly called to see if he hits stg and still remaining 8th in chips if he doesn't. And Chino.. Chino was at best coinflipping with a very big % of being a complete fkn pair over pair dog. But he just can't let go of such good looking hands. chino-minooo... chino...

They had a live stream for the Jamie Gold year which I watched. This one gets delayed 3 months and i can listen to audio?

so did they mislead people like "there will be live video, calm down" or did they just not mention what exactly the live streaming will be (audio/video). Sry if i am getting annoying, i just hate it when ppl lie!

the commentary is tilting.

Please don't ever post any strategy again.

Craig Marquis first one out! So sick: Scott Montgomery AQ vs Marquis' 77

Flop 7AT, turn J, river K.

at least 1.8m now, quiet a long way from winning 1k in AoE tourneys!

and the main commentator is plain terrible : " Oh LOOK at that " argggggggg

i have this problem with my PC - it tends to shut down instantaneously from time to time and they just announced that Scot calls and that he has A.. and it shut down LOL. That would be one of the most interesting hands.

after the 97Kxx against Suharto Soul said "I just pretended like.." Before commentators cut him off, sick bluff if it was indeed.

chino out

Just prior to starting the dinner break, there was a pause in the action to announce a multi-year sponsorship deal for All-In Energy Drink as the official energy drink of the World Series of Poker. This is a Johnny Chan endeavor, and TD Jack Effel called Phil Hellmuth to the stage to introduce Chan. "That's ok, you guys can boo," said Hellmuth as he mounted the stage. The gallery complied, to Hellmuth's delight. After a few kind words about Chan, Hellmuth called him to the stage. "Who's gonna win, Johnny?" asked Hellmuth. "I don't care who's going to win," replied Chan. "I just care who's going to drink the most All-In Energy Drink." "That was a pretty shameless plug, Johnny." Maybe so, but Chan didn't seem to care.

Only proper response possible

Ylon Schwartz has the button in Seat 3. Action folds to Scott Montgomery in the small blinds, who raises to 1.5 million. The big blind, Ivan Demidov, reraises to 4.025 million.

"How much do you have behind?" Montgomery asks. By our count, the answer is roughly 20 million.

After one minute in the tank, Montgomery raises all in. Demidov snap-calls for 24.375 million, drawing a grimace from Montgomery.

Montgomery: {A-Diamonds} {9-Diamonds}
Demidov: {K-Spades} {K-Diamonds}

Well, we've already seen A-x crack a big pocket pair once today, courtesy of Dennis Phillips. Montgomery will be looking for some of that magic himself. If he doesn't find a winner by the time the river hits the board, he'll be left with only 7 million chips.

There's a murmur of excitement and anticipation as two diamonds hit the flop, {6-Diamonds} {4-Diamonds} {6-Clubs}, to give Montgomery more outs. Any ace or any diamond will send Demidov to the rail. He has to sweat two more cards.

He ducks the turn successfully after it falls the {10-Spades}. There's one more card to sweat -- the river, which falls a harmless {3-Clubs}. One of Demidov's supporters, a gentleman with a Soviet flag draped around his neck, came barreling out of the stands to wrap Demidov in a bear hug.

This was a game-changing hand for both players. Montgomery has just 7.075 million chips; Demidov now is the clear chip leader, with 50.1 million.

Updated Chip Counts

Ivan Demidov 50,100,000
Peter Eastgate 39,850,000
Ylon Schwartz 20,975,000
Dennis Phillips 18,375,000
Scott Montgomery 7,075,000

montgomery out cause he is dumb or something

Dennis Phillips: 17,325,000
Ylon Schwartz: 22,175,000
Ivan Demidov: 49,100,000
Peter Eastgate: 47,625,000

montgomery might be the new mike matusaw

That was sooooooooooo bad by Montgomery.

agreeeeeeeeeeeZ

wh00 dat

whats the prizes?

1st = 9M


btw 3rd place got 4M... so im guessing this years prizes are much more evenly distributed which is nice.

Montgomery v Demidov was standard, short-handed, blind on blind, aggressive opponent.

Well, out of the nine that started, the best two players made the heads up. Kinda nice.

I'm pretty sure Baal quoted patrick but didnt get that his post was a level

I would take side bets on Liofle in heads-up last longer bets vs BigRed0000 for any live tournament and be shippin' the profits.

It means they agree.

I could have quoted you without replying, that would be a tidy little logical contradiction.

Two best players in heads-up, thats very nice

I hope Demidov wins ;p

Yeah, me too, I was hoping (and predicting ) Demidov vs Eastgate HU. I think they're the best representatives for poker out of the 9 players, who both have proven their worth the last months. Finally we don't see some donk or average Joe catching too many cards having old people to think "hey, I should be doing this", but this time, it's the youth and the internetplayers that get a boost in spirit (and they're European )

oh ya.. we definitely wouldn't want shitty players thinking they could win at poker... that would a disaster.

Sorry, wasn't referring to that hand. Probably should've mentioned that =[

what time does it start?

Yeah I agree, terrible players who will continue bragging about winning tournaments and entering a ton of new tournaments/staying active in the pokerworld are actually great poker ambassadors (Hellmuth.. Gold..). Having a solid player win that goes off the grid and just continues grinding is not really something we want to see is it. Although I guess a WSOP ME winner won't get off the grid hehe.

Still I hope you see my point.

I always thought Chino Rheem would be in the HU. He seems like a solid, thinking player.

its all about balance, we need some donkeys that give hope to the average Joe, but we also need "superstars" because people like seeing familiar faces too.

Anyone else think Allen Cunningham is in the top 5 of best tourney players?

no

no

has hu started yet?

i've been staring at this gif for the past 28 minutes

not much you can do when you shove AK, get called by AQ, and a lady hits the flop. I agree, he's a super solid player. Sometimes its not enough

I think we've had enough of those the last few years, where people start to think it's all about luck and the internetpro's start to think it's always won by donkeys. I think it's nice to see a decent player who put a lot of hard work in it win for a change.

Yes nice!!!

he sucked big time tho

Its an ongoing love affair.

Any streams of ESPN broadcast btw?

Sick hand between Demidov and Phillips.

Yeah pretty incredible hand. I heard it on the audio but honestly didn't expect Demidov to have that hand.

it was just me or it was available on payperview?

How about Schwartz folding the king high flush?

ah i think i got it, u on my side ;95% sure :D. Profits would be big 4 sure. That red thing doesn't have a clue.

i'd probably re-think that if I were you Liofle .

For starters, find out what a last longer is.
