WSOPE Final Table Delayed - For A Nice Cup Of Tea

Just weeks after the announcement that ESPN will be delaying the final table of the World Series of Poker Main Event for a 4-month long advertisement break, Melted Felt can bring you a shocking exclusive on this year's European Version - the World Series Europe held in London, England.

Reflecting the international nature of the modern poker game the organizers of this year's WSOPE have introduced a break before the final table - for a nice cup of tea and a sit down.

This prestigious tournament will play down to the final nine players as normal before the new break comes into play. Asked to estimate the length of the WSOPE final table break a spokesman replied, "Oooh, 25 minutes should be plenty" adding "we need time to warm the pot of course, and there will be a selection of biscuits too - some with chocolate".

So, What's next? A sheep-dipping contest half way through the Aussie Millions? A couple of hours to browse the latest pre-packed pine furniture in Ikea as we get through to the last 3-tables of the Scandanavian Open? A week off to invade Poland at the EPT Dortmund?
