On a side note... It will be interesting to see ESPN's response to the fact that at least a few hundred thousand got to see the Pay Per View event live for "Free" as links to the live feed that was suppose to cost $24.95 appeared on numerous poker forums without ESPN ever finding the glitch and stopping it. Can only imagine someone's getting fired tomorrow at ESPN.
Look for the Main Event coverage to begin airing on ESPN starting August 22.
