    End of World Series of Poker cut off!!!
    Did anyone else DVR the WSOP last night and then watch it to find out that ESPN didn't get it all in in the two hours?

    What the !$#@??!?!???

    This was not a football game!! Since it was EDITED from a previous live event, why the heck did it go past the two hours?? Now I'm screwed -- Does anyone know where there's a LINK so I can watch the end before I read somewhere who won?

    Thanks!

    Are you sure they planned to show it all in one episode?

    I assumed they might do it in 2 or more.

        Well I was hoping to still see it somehow, but thanks anyway. Since you told me the end, can you at least give me the play-by-play, Joe?

        The last part I saw when it got cut off was Cata all in against the French dude, and Cata drew the set of threes to go ahead in that hand. Obviously he took the French dude out. So give me the play-by-play from there. Thanks!

          Thats all they showed! They must be showing the rest next week. They must not have edited it yet since it lasted longer than they thought it would. I just know who won from looking it up.

            I cant believe the kid came back like that. He was down to 1% of the chips at the final table at one time.

              Oh, that's really F--KED!!! Oh, so I could have still seen it, then? Why'd you look it up, Joe? Didn't you want to see it happen?

              Actually, that's really strange. Are you sure they're doing it like that? Anyone else have any idea?

                ya the last thing I saw before I turned the channel was Cata winning a 44 (cata) X A8 (Ivey) all-in with Cata having all his chips in the middle. Lost interest after that cause I knew who won. Though, I would still like to see the end if they show it, I figured from the time remaining and the people left that it would be continued at a later date.

                  I was watching it live (I mean on TV/not DVR'd). I thought it was strange too because they did not advertise for next week. It just ended abruptly!

                  I just assume that they will make 1 more show for next week.

                    I saw it. Moon had a 2-1 chip lead then bluffed to double up cada. Moon picked up qjdd, raised, cada picked up 99 and pushed..moon called(will never understand this call, but turns out 2 b in good shape), but the 9's held up and he won. +2 points thanks.

                      I already read about it all here: http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/poker...rew&id=4643459
                      But thanks.

                      I don't get it, my buddy says it went for two-and-a-half hours last night and he watched it all. So why are some of you saying they stopped it short??? For me, seems like it was just the DVR issue where ESPN advertised it for two hours, this screwing all the people who DVR'd it!

                        Hmmm, maybe it went to commercial and I thought it was over for the night!

                        I'm sure it will be on 500 more times!

                          It ran passed its scheduled time. But it was all shown. Im sure DVR only records it for the timeframe, but since it went passed it, it stopped recording.

                            I don't know, that's what I was hoping so that I could see it for myself, but ESPN's TV schedule didn't show anything, so I just went ahead and read about the finish.

                            Man, that kid was lucky as hell! I mean you always have to have some, but he kept going all in with questionable hands, end up with the odds against him, but win anyway. Moon had plenty of luck himself. I thought some of the guys who finished in the middle had actually played the best and smartest, but just had crap luck. The French dude had played well, as well as Schulman, the guy Helmuth had coached.

                              There was more luck this year than any in recent memory.

                              That is whats so bad about the main event. You have to have plenty of luck to make a run. You cant win this event with just skill.

                              I'd like to see some sort of qualification to get into the main event. Not just anyone with $10,000, but I guess that would take away most peoples dream of taking a shot.
