WSOP on ESPN...

I heard it was because of ratings, but this doesn't make any sense to me since now the prelim events will be competing with the networks' Fall lineups. I'd much rather put my bigger event on at that time, but I'm not a TV exec.

As to tonights broadcast, kudos to Helmuth for not going broke in one of those first three hands, although I think any of those players could have broken him if they'd played differently.
