Straight Flush
The WSOP Main Event will be played to a final winner in July, and ESPN will now broadcast an estimated 40 hours of live Main Event action (on a 30-minute delay)...
Personally, I think this is good news... I always hated the 4 month break in play.
The winner of the World Series of Poker Main Event will now be known on July 22nd, as this deal marks the end of the ‘November Nine era.' The biggest tournament in all of poker starts on July 8th with Day 1a and plays down to a winner on three consecutive days starting on July 20th.
Under the new deal, ESPN will telecast an estimated 40 hours of live – on a 30-minute delay – WSOP Main Event coverage each July, on top of 130 hours of originally packaged shows. Any coverage not aired by ESPN will be streamed exclusively through Poker Central’s digital distribution channels.
