2008 ESPN Fantasy Poker League III Draft Live Blogging For Some Reason

Ok...the third annual ESPN WSOP Fantasy Poker Draft is set to begin around 4:15 EST. As Entity Chops will be participating, we'll be live blogging the selection process. Last year, Chops held the lead going into the $10k PLO + rebuys event, but was overtaken by eventual winner Gavin Smith. The draft order has just been released. It is below.

Gavin Smith / Lance Bradley / Joe Sebok / Mark Seif / Peter "Nordberg" Feldman / Andrew "Mordberg" Feldman / Daniel Negreanu / Gary Wise / Bill Edler / Bernard Lee / Chops

Check back around 4:15 EST for more...

4:20 EST - Draft hasn't started yet but Gary Wise brought up this engaging vid where Allen Kesseler talks about beastiality.

4:25 EST - We're all waiting on Gavin to get here. He's first pick.

4:35 EST - Gavin still not here so moved to the last pick...Lance starts it off with Allen Cunningham.

4:40 EST - Good link sent to us during the draft here.

4:41 EST - Worst live blog ever?

4:50 EST - ......

5:15 EST - If you think this live blog is brutal, you should actually be part of this draft.

5:18 EST - Sebok is falling asleep. Nordberg is beating his head against a wall.

5:20 EST - Sebok instant analysis: Top to bottom, side to side, my team is mighty dominant.  I would lay a large amount of money on this.  Fo sho.  Nordberg's team is easily the weakest.  His picking style was laughable, at best.  Seebs out.

5:25 EST - Nordberg instant analysis: Well I think I have a good team. The success of my team hinges on the Internet players I took. Sebok: Who's your team? Nordberg: I don't remember. Oh I did take Jordan Rich. He's a pain in the ass to play against. So he must be good.
