There was absolutely no way from media row that we knew anything at all had happened. You cannot hear the players and ESPN does not pipe the audio to any live feed. Yes, there were rumbles over the next several days but poker gossip is about as reliable as well.. gossip. Without a lot of digging you would not have known just how nasty it got over the 11+ hours of the final table and even then you couldn't have known how ESPN would edit it for the show.

Yeah, I knew that Phillips hired Oracle Consulting, but I think it was Dan who noted in a previous post that Binger was not included in that press release. So, Phillips just hired Roy Winston. I just think that's an odd choice with all of the poker teachers available, though Phillips explained his choice on PR Radio.

I assume the "huh?" in reference to Winston is the coach of Phillips? Before the WSOP, it was supposed to be Binger and Winston that teamed up to form Oracle Poker Consulting to coach final tablists.
