Let's Get Ready to Rammmmmmble

After weeks of waiting since we followed the entire thing on PokerWire and totally ruining any shred of office productivity, the Main Event of the WSOP begins its broadcast tonight, and the cycle begins again. Instead of running from cubicle to cubicle to boast about your pick's hand that just showed up online, now our water coolers will be deluged by debates over whether Matusow "is really a nice guy", how horrendously bad some of the players on Day 1 are, and how we'll all show them next year when we will obviously take our place among the greats.

And since we're in the gambling mood (and hey - how about those Steelers?), let's put some over/under lines out there for the entire Main Event broadcast and join along.

- Norman Chad mentions "The Ladies": 11
- Pocket Aces lose in a televised hand: 0.5
- River Suckouts: 18,583
- Arguments shown involving a Floorman: 2.5
- Arguments shown involving a Floorman involving Annie Duke: 2.5
- Players from last year's Final Table shown playing (That didn't win): 4
- Hours into Broadcast before Joe Hachem is shown playing a hand: 4
- Televised hands that Phil Hellmuth loses and whines: 8
- Shots of Tobey Maguire: 4
- Shots of Shannon Elizabeth: Never Enough
- Amount of Alcohol (in liters) that Steve Dannenmann consumes: 27
- Shots with Bloggers in frame: 62 (This one will be *heavily* scrutinized!

And of course, if anyone wants to wager on the winner, I've got tons of money to plop down on this unknown Australian guy. I think he's got a shot.
