There’s been a little bit of grumbling at ESPN’s proposed television coverage for this year’s WSOP (detailed below), with a lot of fans complaining that the schedule seemed a bit thin. Perhaps in response to that feedback, or perhaps just as part of a plan they had all along, ESPN announced today a fairly ambitious schedule of online live coverage of WSOP final tables.
WSOP final table broadcasts can be seen either on ESPN360 or at BluffMagazine.com. In total, 24 bracelet events will get coverage. “We are proud to provide the culminating action of so many prominent events to a worldwide audience in real time,” WSOP commissioner Jeffrey Pollack said. “This online initiative will complement our spectacular television package on ESPN and deliver even more of this year’s milestone WSOP to fans who want the most immediate coverage possible.”
