WSOP.com to broadcast 60 WSOP bracelet events online/ESPN TV coverage

Every bracelet event will have live final table coverage (hole cards only on WSOP ME final table in October).

Here's a link to the ESPN taped coverage, while at WSOP.com David Tuchman will lead the coverage for 34 bracelet events.

Tuchman is great, but it's going to be brutal without holecards. ESPN should include holecards, and just make it a 30+ minute delay & sequester cellphones rather than 5 minutes. Would be infinitely better for the viewership/ad revenue .

Re: WSOP.com to broadcast 60 WSOP bracelet events online/ESPN TV coverage

According to Bart Hanson on LATB, ESPN has done away with live cards up streaming for the bigger events. This is of course a minor travesty. Last year's coverage was fascinating, giving a much deeper look into the game. It was a starting point, and I mistakenly was looking forward to improved coverage this year. Supposedly ESPN believes this was a failed experiment last year, and that live streaming coverage detracts from their packaged highlight shows. Guess could also be a financial decision by ESPN. It seems that with players glued to streaming coverage for hours on end, a creative advertising approach could made to exploit the format.

Any streaming without holecards is a bigger failure in any sense then streaming with them. Wtf ESPN It's 2012 .

I think no hole cards is interesting. I found it annoying at ME ft when they kept running over and getting info from their peeps on what hand someone had 30 mins earlier.

Interesting how? its painful to watch without hole cards and no different to any other tournament. Showing the hole cards is definitely more interesting!

Does anyone know if WSOP.com streams in Apple friendly formats or flash? Hoping to watch on iPad.

I know Dave posts on here. You need to have a discussion with the ESPN people and convince them to get holecards on with a longer delay, good sir.

Does this mean we won't get the live coverage of the main event each day, from day 3, like we did last year??? That was amazing to watch, had a mix of no hole cards till lunch then hole cards and it was nice to have that mix. LivB and antonio were such good commentators too.

There will be no live coverage of the Main Event, as it hurt the Tuesday night ratings.

Re: WSOP.com to broadcast 60 WSOP bracelet events online/ESPN TV coverage

Yea it sucks but if you take the ME from last yr, they only showed the raiser and the last one to fold. So with the preflop action, its not going to be a big of a deal since you only saw cards of the raiser and the last one to act. Its really going to hurt when you have a decent size pot that never makes it to showdown.

Did the 50k players championship last year have hole cards? I remember a lot of hands that I was on the edge of my seat watching. Like that one hand where PH double check raised. I dont think they showed the cards for that event and it was still fun to watch.
