hansenschick 1 Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 Did anyone watch the Global Poker Challenge on FSN last night. Oh man talk about terrible TV. All they showed were all in hands and people getting busted out. I understand the format was such that each team got a point for busting out someone from the opposing team, but who wants to watch all in bust for an hour?!An the announcers . . . oh my God. They were messing up everyones names. I mean they must not be very familiar with poker to mess up Mike Matsow, Marcel Luske, DN, and too many to list. I got to the poing were it was funny. My boyfriend was like "you'd think they would double check these things." They called The Mouth "Mike Ma- tu- s0" Bad real bad. Link to post Share on other sites

CobaltBlue 662 Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 I think they must've had trouble with transposing the letter 'r' as 'n', because they put up a graphic of 'Sartori' (he got a lot of airtime in the WSOP Main Event) and it read 'Santoni'. Link to post Share on other sites
Ramon Scott 0 Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 It was strange that so many names were flubbed since Jesse May is a poker columnist and has been a PBP voice before. You would think he would know these guys. Link to post Share on other sites
Petoria 0 Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 They hardly showed any hands, most of the time was spent explaining that they were moving to an all in at another table. Also, WTF was up with them blurring all of Matusow's clothes, if he's not supposed to wear it, then tell him to put a piece of tape over the ".com", but dont blur out his entire body. That was just ridiculous. Link to post Share on other sites
