After watching Chris Moneymaker and Connecticut's Greg Raymer win again and again and again in repeats from previous tournaments, ESPN finally delivers new episodes tonight from the 2005 World Series of Poker.
Highlights from the main event, which paid out $7.5 million to the winner last week, won't air until October. Until then, ESPN will air final tables and highlights each Tuesday night from the other 40-odd competitions that make up the World Series of Poker. And viewers likely will lap it up.
As ESPN's poker commentator Norman Chad told the Herald, "I could do the commentary in pig Latin and we'd still be OK."
