Welcome Back Kotter
I don’t know about you guys, but I find myself following the $50k HORSE event at the WSOP daily via internet updates in much the same way that I’d follow the first couple days of the U.S. Open or the first couple days of the NCAA Bball tourney.
Between meetings and projects at work, I’m escaping to the internet to check it out. I’m looking to see who’s been eliminated, who’s doubled up, how many players remain etc… Then, I find myself picking a dark horse, long shot that I can secretly root for to make it through to the weekend (for this event I have 3 – Chris Reslock, Gabe Kaplan, and Greg Raymer – for reasons that I can’t really defend).
The problem is that there is no televised coverage to escape to on Sat or Sun to satisfy my curiosity as to the outcome. I guess we’ll find out soon enough the outcome, but the television coverage will be delayed by a few months. This sucks! They better give this event 3 hours of coverage or I’ll have to write a strongly worded letter of protest to someone.

they stream the final tables of the events at http://www.worldseriesofpoker.com/mediacenter/index.asp - there is an annual $49.95 fee for this. I have watched some of the events and really love it (replete with hole cards and guest commentators). It is an hour delay -- so it's *almost* live. Don't know if they do the horse event. Hope this helps out your sick addiction.
