WSOP Main Event going live on Pay Per View

ESPN has stepped up in the poker television rights for the WSOP and more importantly the Main Event. ESPN has agreed to a new contract that will give them the sole television rights through 2010. Along with this comes the right to broadcast every minute of the final table on pay per view until there is a winner. This is huge news for the poker enthusiast as now you will not have to wait to see the action unfold as you will have it brought to you live. Last year, I remember I was continuously refreshing my browser on a few certain websites to see the live updates, but that won't need to be done this time around, now that there is a way to see this action live.

ESPN is going to continue its delayed versions of the events for those that do not want to get the pay per view or for those that want to watch the other events as well. These events will begin airing on ESPN every tuesday beginning on July 18th. For those that are living in Canada and cannot receive ESPN, TSN has yet to announce its television schedule.

My suggestion to you is go out and get this pay per view and watch the tremendous poker players go to work at the biggest poker tournament in the business.
