world series of poker -related stories

We don't usually have open threads about sporting events here at TV Squad, but last night was the big finale of the
2009 World Series of Poker on ESPN, and I wanted to post this for two reasons. One, to find out what you thought of the exciting battle between logger Darvin Moon and 21 year-old Joe Cada, and two to find out how many people are actually still interested in watching poker on television.
Poker was massive on TV a few years ago, but is it still?

I'm starting to wonder if TV and movie stars playing poker is more than just an interesting trend. Maybe it's a requirement.
Jason Alexander recently popped up on my TV, not in a
Seinfeld rerun or his recent appearance on
Curb Your Enthusiasm but in the most recent World Series of Poker. And it didn't look as though he was there playing with his own money. He appeared to have his own sponsor and everything.
Here is ESPN's coverage of Alexander's elimination from the tournament. Watch for the fan at the end who accidentally calls him George. It's cringe-tastic.

It was inevitable: the stereotype of the poker player is being tested on another reality show. First there was Jean-Robert on
Survivor . More recently America watched Annie Duke shrewdly translate her poker prowess as business savvy on the
Celebrity Apprentice .
Now rumors are
flying in that two poker players will be on
The Amazing Race . Poker players Maria Ho and Tiffany Michelle have been spotted around LAX's airport ready to race around the world. What is it about poker players that are so appealing? Can the ability to bluff succeed with foreigners?
