Old news, but first time I\’m seeing it … (thanks KevMath for the embed code) … a very positive-for-poker segment on Good Morning America, with George Stephanopolous playing a private Poker After Dark sunrise sit-n-go against Annie Duke, Phil Hellmuth, Jason Lee, and Steve Begleiter. George played admirably and finished 3rd, after getting it in with the best hand.
Nice. What I couldn\’t help but notice:
- Sweet mini-gig for Ali Nejad, getting to host an event on Good Morning America.
- Duke, who understands a thing or two about Washington and proper patching up, wore no UB.
- Hellmuth did however — and not just UB.net, but dot-COM. Did Phil miss a memo or something?
Seriously, not to take away from the respectability of this sorta TV play … nice job by all, and hearing Stephanopolous declare his excitement about playing Ante Up for Africa-DC probably couldn\’t have been a better result. But really … UB.COM? Notably either bold, ignorant, or inconsequential.
