Wrong, on so many levels.
 
1)  1 hour of the show was dedicated to hugging Phil Ivey's nuts and milking his status for all it was worth.  He got almost 1 full hour of coverage of ALL the significant hands that he played.  The remaining players got the remaining 1.5 hours.  
 
2)  They can start editing the minute that play begins.  They know a significant hand, and they know how to build a story leading up to hands (use my Phil Ivey post for example).  They missed the boat here, in a major way.
 
3)  The show was scheduled for 2 hours, but ended up running 2.5 hours.  So of about 16 hours (guessing) of play, they had to cut the filler and insignificant hands, and get to the meat of the play.  I don't care about player bio's, I can find that on the internet.  Let me see that hands being played, and cut the BS.  Not to mention, they edited 30 minutes longer than scheduled programming anyway.  Good thing I was home to watch it, or I my DVR would have cut out as Cada began his insane comeback.
 
So, what do I expect?  I expect less Phil Ivey (sorry Phil, I love you as a player, but you weren't a major figure at this table) and more poker coverage.  Why only show like 5 hands of heads up play when it was a back and forth marathon between the final 2?  I expect better coverage from the greatest tournament in the world.  Hell, the Heartland Poker Tour on my local network gives me better coverage.
 
Footnote.  Congrats to Cada.  You won the event with a lot of luck while playing poor poker.  Too many chances with marginal and poor hands, and too loose with your preflop play.  I hope you tighten up your game in the coming year, or you will be sitting next to Jamie Gold on the "Where Are They Now" segment during the poor 2011 WSOP coverage.
