ESPN fast-forwards: If you watched Episodes 3 and 4 of the Main Event on ESPN2 last night, you'll have noticed they didn't cover Days 3 and 4 as the WSOP's X account had promised. Instead, the broadcast jumped straight to Day 6, with only a tiny recap of the bubble before racing through to the final table.

When we reviewed Episodes 1 and 2, we said we wanted more. That review looks even more prescient now. Building characters is great, but why spend two episodes introducing players from Days 1 and 2 if they're not going to appear again?

Polker News: Doug Polk is back with his own take on the big news stories, including Jared Griener's scary experience when he was robbed of his WSOP winnings. 

He also looks at the recent beef between Rampage and Allen Kessler. And between Rampage and Shaun Deeb. You'll have to watch to see if he sides with Deeb or ClubWPT Gold buddy Rampage.
