The disembodied voice you hear is Ali Zahan (or something like that). He also co-chaired the FCP Daniel Protege 1 Final Table and I believe he also was one of the announcers during ESPN's live coverage of the WSOP. I know I've seen/heard him in two other broadcasts. The funny thing is, I remember liking his commentary in the others. It's almost like he's trying to be Gabe Kaplin, but fails. I'd like to see/hear more Shana though. They way they hyped it up initially I thought there would be more of her covering the play.

One comment:
Do you guys like Huck Seed's huge raises/bets when he has an almost(or not) unbeatable hand ?

I think Huck is the best player at the table, honestly. He's had a nice rush of cards so far, but he's just so composed and level headed and observant and everything else. He's just solid. He may have made a play or two that didn't work out, but he's the man. Gus is playing well too, IMO. Annie is Annie (she's just not the good), Steve is very bland and by the book, Sheik is solid but really nothing all that special, and Phil is talented of course, but an emotional basket case.

I'm hoping it comes down to Gus and Huck, and I like Huck to take it down.

1/2 way through Episode 3

- The Hellmuth thing was absolutely hilarious

- This Zolotow guy is awful ... weak/tight to the extreme. Raising with 44 receiving one call then checking behind on a 2 5 7 board (or somethin like that) then folding the turn when a Ten comes???? Folding Big aces to a button raise... etc

- Hellmuths comeback interview hilarious. 22 years of Poker and I've never seen this!!! LMAO And WTF is the "World Wide Wrestling Federation" (WWWF?) HAHAHAHA

Not necessarily -- he was under the impression that annie would push in on his raise with any ace... if thats the case he could be a dominating favorite. It happens she had KK so he looks foolish, but what if she did have A8? Read dependant there, but yea still mostly a fold situation

Helmuth drives me nuts. I respect his poker resume....but to listen to him go on and on. Annie owned him on that hand. Foolishness. He thinks he's bigger than the game. Drives me crazy
