Ask him how he feels about the draftees.  I m really interested in how the big three and rondo feel about the guys.

and awesome story.  I don't think I've heard of any negative Paul Pierce stories, at least cant come up with any off top.

You're lucky you got to meet him. I only have that he went to my cities school (couldn't go because it was bad in my moms standard). Never heard anything horrible about him attitude wise and he still helps out the school today.

Will this be on ESPN any time today or tomorrow, if so what time?

As far as I know, I don't think it's going to be on TV anytime soon.  ESPN only shows the WSOP after it's all over and heavily edited, which takes some time. 

Also, Go Pierce.  It doesn't surprise me that he's a good poker player.  Also, the six hour massage that he supposedly had had to have helped.  I mean, who does that, get a massage for that long?  He must be the first person in WSOP history to get that long of a massage.  Getting your back kneaded has to help throw off opponents from getting a good read.  If he makes the big TV show table, I would love to see him get a massage the whole time.

Players are divided into four groups.  The first group played its first day on July 7.  The last group played its first day on July 10.  I'll let you guess when the other groups played.

The remainder of groups A and C play their second day on July 11.  The remainder of groups B and D play their second day on July 12.

July 13 is an off day.

Whoever is left in the field plays from July 14 until July 19, stopping when there are only nine players left for the final table.

The final table will be played in November on a date to be determined.  I'm pretty sure that if the lockout ends by then, those running the tournament would bend over backwards to make sure the date does not conflict with a Celtics game should Paul Pierce make the final table, because it would be stupid to pass up the publicity.
