Just FYI since you can't watch it through TiVo, but ESPN3 supposedly starts 2013 WSOP coverage tonight @10PM EDT with "2013 World Series of Poker: Casino Employees No-Limit Hold 'Em (Final Table)"

I say supposedly because when I first looked was scheduled for 7PM, then briefly disappeared, then reappeared for 10.

Speaking of the Final Table, given what played out last year, I am making sure I have plenty of room on my DVRs to be able to record probably 18-24 hours worth of programming. As much as I recorded/padded/recorded and padded several of the following programs, I still didn't get the finish. I had to watch the truncated replay coverage they aired to see it.

I don't want that happening this year!

**** WSOP FINAL TABLE - LIVE BROADCAST WARNING ****

The Nov 4th (Monday) WSOP Live Final Table broadcast showed up in my DirecTV program guide starting at 7 CT/8 ET for three hours. Because of the Monday Night Football coverage airing on the main ESPN channel, the Live Final Table is being aired on ESPN2. My guide does not yet have data for Nov 5th (Tuesday), so I will post again probably tomorrow with info on further coverage.

If you have an SP set up for the main ESPN channel, you may want to make sure you're checking ESPN2 as well.



Added: It looks like they have the Nov 5th Live Final Table coverage scheduled from 8:00 to 10:00 CT with about 14 one hour blocks of Sports Center following that on the main ESPN channel.

And FWIW, for the 90 minute showing of the WSOP that they showed on the 15th, they rebroadcast the full one hour segments on ESPN2 on the next Monday. (10/21) All they did was edit out 2 segments between 32 and 48 minutes of the show. There were some more interesting hands in omitted segments than in what they showed, but they did it for ease.

I assume that was what they did with the previous 90 minute episodes also. (Cant say for sure because I didn't tape those.)

I am going to assume that they will broadcast the full episodes hour long episodes on ESPN2 tomorrow night (Monday) from the 90 minute 10/22 broadcast also.

ESPN2 is broadcasting 3 hour long shows Monday night. The first will be the last show from the 15th and then the 2 shows that they used to make up the 90 minute episode from the 22nd.

(Or at least that is what I assume they are doing.)

At least a couple of weeks ago, I had tried to get the Monday rebroadcasts, but it didn't actually end up being WSOP episodes... I forget what it was.. (I've now been recording the 1.5 hr shows, and then eventually just watching on On Demand..)

Hmm, I wonder how many hours I should pad either night..

I was actually thinking about this over the weekend, and IIRC, last year I finally gave up on the final table since it was so boring.. (I remember even admitting in the thread that I guess I was wrong, I *do* want the edited, exciting hands with voiceover..) If it's less than 14 hours, maybe I can watch the whole thing (at 1.5x at least)... and I don't remember ever catching the edited version of the final table, even though I know they make them for reruns... (often the reruns of WSOP shows are preempted, and I think I got tired of chasing them..)

Both Monday Nov 4 and Tuesday Nov 5 are "live" (30-minute delay) broadcasts of every hand. Monday is on ESPN2 and they will play down to 3. Tuesday is on ESPN and they will play to a winner.

You'll either have to set up a long manual recording or multiple recordings. 6 hours probably won't be enough for the first night. 5 hours might be enough for the second night but that is not certain.

They did broadcast as scheduled the full episodes tonight.

But, yes have had problems over the years trying to record certain episodes. (Chasing the episodes as you put it.)

I don't know how many hours I'll be able to get through as yes, it can be rather boring.

Yes, I scheduled multiple 2 hour manual recordings. (Makes it easier to delete/free up space when done with those segments also.)

It will be interesting to see how the final night plays out after last year's marathon. It was almost 10 hours long IIRC. I'd be willing to be the contrarian and hope that this year will be less than 5 hours. (I can dream can't I?)

It's funny how they can go from 9 to 3 players in just a few hours, but then it takes twice as long to find the eventual winner.

This week, Comcast only put "Main Event 17" (that's how they're titling them), not 16, on On Demand.. I still have the 1.5 hour condensed version of the two. Was wondering if there's a way to contact Comcast about On Demand (the normal call the call centers would be pointless, I think).. Similar to how they have an address for closed captioning issues.
(Though heh, a lot of the On Demand stuff doesn't seem to have CC, even though the Tivo says it does.)

Didn't the Final 3 run something like 12 hours last year (and yes, ESPN (or whichever of the ESPN channels aired it) covered the whole thing)?

Also, this press release says the final table will air on a 15-minute delay instead of a 30-minute one. Either the players will be under a 15-minute "shot clock", or they won't be able to show hole cards while a hand is in progress.

Have you actually seen a hand last that long?
