So we will have all the action of the final table divided in three episodes? It seems to make sense. Now we just have to wait and see if the chip division at the table will justify all of this. I believe we will have a first big day, but it's impossible to predict the other two. Things can get solved really fast. But still, i think these things should stay previously arranged so there won't be any atempt of chenges when the action is rolling. Imagine that, when there are only four, one of them is so strong that he only needs half an hour to get two out and get to the Heads Up? Should that be enough to justify that the final heads up would be instantly played? If it stays combined that there will be three separated journeys, it should stay that way no matter what happens then.

Anyone know if this will be shown on the ESPN we get in the UK?I get free ESPN along with BT sport with my broadband and tbh I have only just realised that espn is added to my plan. Disappointed that there is no players I know in the Nov 9 but it will still be good to watch.

They are really dragging out this final table and i dont think that the players will enjoy waiting this long to find out the winner but the amount of money these tv companies pay they are in control

I always thought that it was Las Vegas businesses that were more in favour of the long delay in the final table. I just don't think the November 9 is working,the recent final tables seems to be filled with players that are not that familiar to the US public and are not really TV stars either so I don't think the TV companies are gaining that much.I bet they were really hoping for Negreanu to make it.
