I had already picked up the feed and watched Hellmuth pick up #11. Apparently the Ladies event was a free broadcast last night, so I watched it while cleaning my room.
Quality of the feed is quite good, but the event last night was some of the worst poker I've ever seen. You know it's bad when the lead announcer and Liz Lieu are completely trashing all but one of the participants, and apologizing to audience on the (lack of) play. Here's an example of some of the outstanding play...
Blinds 20,000-40,000 (5,000). Seven players in the hand, average stack is 250,000. Player in EP moves all-in for 85,000. Folded to the BB who has KJo. 45,000 to call, which seems obvious, but the announcers are already predicting a fold. BB folds. Liz was laughing herself to tears on how bad the play was.
The best way to summarize play is, "every person but one player was playing to move up in the money. No one bluffed and players would only raise with AT+ and other players would only call that raise with AK or a med/high pair"
It was at a point where, if a player would raise, the announcers would say "..and XX has raised it up and will pick up the blinds and antes, even though action isn't finished, but it doesn't matter since no one will call her." I felt bad for everyone involved.
