Got Beef?

There's been a webcast of the feature table of this event that's been running all day on a 10-minute delay. It was widely promoted by the WTP in their press materials and on their website, but it seems that Team Australia only recently learned about the possible implications of the webcast -- namely, that some of the other teams might watch the webcast to collect information about hands that weren't shown down. (The webcast includes the use of hole-card cams.) Presumably the teams would then use that information to alter their final-table strategy against certain opponents.

We don't know if there is any truth to those allegations. What we do know is that Team Australia has requested that the webcast be shut down so that no team has access to any information it would not otherwise have access to. For the moment the webcast is still running, but the tournament is also now on a break. We'll see if the webcast continues once the tournament resumes.
