Kevin Schaffel on ESPN's Inside Deal

ESPN.com's new 30-minute poker show, ESPN Inside Deal, focuses on Coral Springs' Kevin Schaffel in its next webisode, which airs at noon Tuesday.

He's in sixth place in th World Series of Poker, which resumes Nov. 7.

The Inside Deal crew will ask him about preparations and how the recent deep runs will affect his confidence heading into the final table. Fans can submit a question via e-mail at insidedeal@espn.com and watch previous episodes of ESPN Inside Deal at http://espn.com/insidedeal.

As far as the TV show goes, it resumes at 9 p.m. Tuesday on ESPN and focuses on Phil Ivey and Jeff Shulman at the feature table, as well as Darvin Moon, a logger from Maryland.

Meanwhile, bracelet winner Antonio Esfandiari is at table two, and out in the field sits the last woman left, Leo Margets whose hope is to become only the second woman ever make the Main Event final table.

So, not much air time for Schaffel this week, either. But his brother, Jordan, says that could be an advantage. For example, on last week's show, chip leader Darvin Moon flopped a straight, and his opponent folded. Moon told him "good fold, I flopped a straight. You'll see it on TV. I'm an honest guy."

Could that info help everyone else? Or are we thinking too much?

more knowlege of the game? At what point to I know enough to attempt to sit
