This — a live cam from above the floor of the Commerce — is pretty cool. Would be extra-awesome if a fight were to breakout or some girl decided to go streaking. But whatever, anyhow, check it out, if you want to watch — at present — three or four tables of a super-satellite at the Commerce. (They just got back from break.)
I think the plan is to stream the final table of the $1k w rebuys event later tonight …
They don\’t quite have play-by-play to make it a real show (yet), but there is a chat moderator to answer questions about what you\’re looking at. This UStream thing … so much potential to be either really good or really bad. Jury still out … but interesting they have it … and the audio now in my background (have heard a few screams and stomps, calls for somebody named Sam, and lots of chip-clicking) is more compelling than the NBC analysts for pairs figure skating.
I don\’t quite get what\’s possible when they say, \”You can send video here by putting the show\’s hashtag, #veerob, in the title when you record! Enjoy!\” Are they implying someone at the table could run video, too, and put it in the same thread?
I can see World Series coverage really changing in coming years if people can self-cover themselves on video similarly to reporting their chip counts via twitter.
Follow the goings-on at the Commerce a little less pathetically with @LAPokerClassic.
