    Sorry if repost..

    Do they know how it is going to work yet as far as live broadcasting. I have heard 45 minute delay, 2 hour delay, 2 day delay..

    are they going to edit out the "actionless" hands?

    Is it actually being broadcasted on ESPN or ppv or something?

    It will be broadcast 24 hours after the event concludes to allow for formatting and editing time.

    It will happen Nov 9th, and I believe, the broadcast is Nov 10th.

    That's what I read on the WSOP site, I think.

    So it will not be available to order on PPV live like the following years, correct? How fucking stupid.

    I actually think they start playing on Nov. 9 until they are down to 2 players, then play the heads up on Nov. 10, then air it on Nov. 11th

    I have ordered the PPV for the last 2 years and loved it, full final table no editing of hands it was great.

    ESPN will surely fuck it up, like they have everything else poker related, but I expect that, so if they do a good job all is good in my opinion. i just hope that they don't chop it up so bad that it is a 2-4 hour broadcast for the complete final table. I want to see it all like years past on PPV.

    I few weeks ago I read that there was going to be NO pay per view. I can't remember where I read that. It might have been wsop.com. I remember thinking that it was pretty definitive though. I think that's terrible, and you know ESPN will air it as an all-in fest just like they always do.

    I also remember hearing that there definitely will not be a PPV broadcast.
