Wake Up Call
My phone started ringing at 11:45 a.m. today. Of course, since my life is awesome, I was still asleep. I barely got to the phone in time to let off a sleepy, "hello?!"
"Hi, this is Steve from ESPN, we're calling to get some biographical information from Cory Albertson for an upcoming World Series of Poker show..."
DING DING DING DING DING!!!
Anyway, from what I could gauge, it looks like there's about a 70-90% chance I'll appear for at least one hand in the September 30th episode. Any substantial appearance also means I get $10k shipped to me from Full Tilt for wearing their logos.
The pieces are in place for Letdown of the Century!!

Update: Through email correspondence, ESPN told me today's phone call was concerning a Day 3 Secondary Table appearance in which Victor Ramdin was at our table. The odd part is that I was only at that table for 4 or 5 hands before they broke the table. We barely even had enough time to be hooked up with microphones before they were taking them off again. It was pretty ridiculous.
Anyway, I find it peculiar that a TV appearance could result out of that short stint at a TV table. I recall there being exactly zero TV worthy hands played before the table dispersed.
I'm hopeful that the producers are making these calls in in the order that the show will be produced. If it's "quite likely" that I'll make it on TV as a result of some meaningless Day 3 appearance, I'd have to think that the Day 5 action of my AJ < Michael Carroll's KJ all in on J62 flop or Tiffany Michelle's AA > Alex Outhred's 55 all in on 865 flop would almost certainly make the TV cut.
Time will tell...
