Does anyone know when TV coverage will air? I'd like to avoid knowing the winners if it's going to be delayed by days/weeks.

I checkraise on the turn with a nut flush.

So it's a $10K buyin. Forgive my naivete', when you see these events on TV. It is not uncommon for them to have $1M or more in chips on the table. Are this common folk - a mortgage broker - actually playing these stakes with their own money? Or, are they just playing with chips as a means of keeping "score" to see who stands for the final prize money?

It's hard for me to envision regular Joe's playing no limit poker with hundreds of thousands of dollars. Quite obvious by my questions, this Joe hasn't done it before.

I would love to see The Sheik, Mattesow, Hellmuth, and Arieh all bust on the first table.

Can't stand those jerks.

I've been on tilt ever since I took a bad beat with a gutshot straight.

I hope to be there. I play on Full Tilt and they have series of free tournaments with 20 entries into the Finals as grand prize. I've made it through the first two levels (top 36 out of 1800 and top 9 out of 646) and I play the final level next month. Top 20 in that one gets the $10,000 entry and $2,000 spending/travel money.

Hello all,

I was wondering how many freepers play online. I play at ultimate bet for small stakes. I usually play the $5 SNGs and multitable tourneys. The multi-tables can be a crap-shoot until the fish are weeded out. I'd say after the first hour you can play "real" poker for the most part. It's frustrating though when some of these geniuses call you all the way down with their flush draws or spike the third ten on the river.
