If Dennis, or anyone else at the final table won without the delay, they would not have had 200 interviews in the following 120 days. As much as I’d love to, I’m not live-commenting the final table.

I wonder how many other soccer fans just didn't change the channel and are now theoretically getting sucked in what was "plausibly live" just a few days ago.

The US doesn't take any taxes from Danish citizens for gambling winnings. Russ mentioned in his blog (www.taxabletalk.com) assumed that Eastgate would have lost nearly 75% of his win if he stayed in Odense.

Pauly does make great points regarding the Olympics/election, it doesn't seem Harrah's and co. did as much thinking about it. Also, the planned endorsements everyone was supposed to get came up quite a bit short, unless you count the sponsorships that the WSOP already had along with the requisite online poker sites. Well done to the Columbus Crew for their win. Looking at the RoundersRadio page, Pauly’s not just an insider, he’s an uber-insider.

And as Pauly and others have said, if a well-known pro (or an attractive female) made the final table, there'd be more talk out there.
