Here’s to hoping ESPN does a good job hyping this. Wish Tiffany Michelle/Mike Matusow made it, but the only “pro” we’ve heard of is Chino Rheem. Not that it’s a bad thing — we’re going to have 9 new poker superstars — but it would have been nice for one of the “name” pros to be at the final table with this new structure.

Ivan Demidov, Ylon Schwartz or Chino Rheem winning would be good, in my opinion.
