I have been watching this show religiously and I think it is great. 24 of the best poker players in the world playing each other in 6 person games every week. The tournament structure is quite different from tournaments like the WSOP but it is still good in many ways.
If this tournament was as badly constructed as the previous poster suggests why would some of the all-time greats such as Doyle Brunson, David Sklansky, Mike Caro, Antonio Esfandiari, Scotty Nguyen, Kathy Liebert and Johnny Chan even bother with a $40,000 buy-in and their valuable time. I have yet to hear one of these players express issues with the event in the post-match interviews.
With some of the televised poker out there like the Celebrity Poker Showdown I find it hard to dispute the quality of play in this show.
My opinion - if you like quality no-limit Texas hold 'em poker this show is hard to beat!
8/10 (It is still no Sopranos or Lost)
