Query about the WPT: How boring is it for the studio audience? On TV, we get to see the hole cards, but surely the audience can't see those, lest they gasp when a pair of aces comes out (or whatever). Seeing only the flop (if they can see that), surely doesn't make for compelling viewing.

I watched part of it this weekend. How do they know what cards the players have in their hands?
It is fascinating, but I need to have a better understanding of the lingo and the rules of the game before I can truly appreciate the skill involved. I loved the foreign guy with the Walkman, singing along to his tunes in Spanish.
