A couple of things to the OP-shouldn't this be in the 'Poker on TV' section (though because it is so popular I understand why it isn't) and I thought the players needed to bring a minimum of 500k this year, not 100k.

I copied and pasted from GSN, so they have a typo.. I did fix it though. I think we need a highstakes poker thread to keep people from making other threads in general about every big hand that gets played.If the mods move it... so be it.

They're showing three episodes in a row. I *think* the new episode is the second one... at least that's the one I'm getting the PVR to grab. Did I get it right?
they're showing 3 in a row TONIGHT?!

After reading Patrik Antonius's blog the final 7 episodes will be great viewing. According to Patrik there are some major bluffs going on between Gold & Farha and it creates some real loose action with some huge pots. He heavily suggests he wins a couple of huge pots.... can't wait to see!
