I personally like the WPT announcers Sexton and Van Patten better than ESPN's announcers. Sexton and Van Patten are more witty and knowledgable. The ESPN announcers are annoying in my opinion.

My personal fave was when Hellmuth was announcing those few times. He had the best insight.

Van Patten

Is a moron! With his little hi school ****, "Dolly Parton 9to5, or Mo town "Jacks & 5`s" etc. and he keeps on & on. He`s a show biz wannabe and a loser@ everything he`s tried. The best thing on either show is Shawna Hiatt saw some nudes of her "naturals" with a great all around body. I think Sexton is the most knowledgeable. He actually PLAYS!

Sexton would probably be regarded as POKERS #1 analyst.

I also like Gabe Kaplan.

kaplan, lederer and sexton are the best. the rest are borderline morons.

no one is even close to kaplan though. kaplan brings incite that NONE of the others do. If you watched the NBC heads-up poker championship you will hear some of the best commentary you will ever hear.

Agreed Kaplan is great at the mic. The WPT guys are entertaining and i'd put up with listening to Van Patten over watching a basketball game with Bill Walton anyday. I'm shocked no one has ripped the ESPN colour man yet he isn't even funny.

Kaplan is easily the best. He knows the game and the players and made a few great jokes in that heads up tournament. I remember when he did the WSOP the year Stu Unger won. I think the comments were taped live and they didn't know the hole cards then. On one show they still let you guess at one of the hands. I like that, everybody is an expert when you know the hole cards. That feature really shows you how hard the game can be. I wonder if ESPN thinks their guy is better or Kaplan just didn't want to do it anymore.
